No matter what you've done for yourself or for humanity, if you can't look back on having given love and attention to your own family, what have you really accomplished?
We were a very funny family. Humour was the tool with which my brother and I tried to get attention. We were always trying to be the funniest.
My family is crazy about watching what - everything I do.
It's an interesting point about sisters not getting the same attention as parents and children, and even brothers. I suspect it's just because women didn't count that much and weren't the ones writing the accounts.
It's not easy to have it all. Frankly, you know, you have to give as much to the career that the career requires and, at the same time, you have to give as much to the family as the attention that's required. But it can be done, yes.
I grew up in Bristol, R.I. I had grandparents and great-grandparents nearby, and because I was the only grandchild until I was 12, I was the center of a lot of adult attention.
Our family brings a different amount of - not fame - attention.
I'd like to give some attention to my family, hang out with them for a little while. They definitely deserve it.
For 'The Haunting Hour,' I thought it would be a lot of fun. It was great to play this cool kid role. My episode is called 'The Intruders' and my character is this mean, angry teenager because her younger brother was just born and he gets all of the attention. She's always playing tricks on her family, and there are some cool twists.
It took a lot to get attention in my family. No wonder I'm an actress.
The thing you can always rely on, your core person, comes from your family's attention and love.
