It's very hypocritical to constantly say, 'We want to keep our kids close,' then send them home with so much homework that family time becomes nonexistent.

In my kids' school, the married family is an anomaly... which I do think is sad. I do believe in marriage.

In the theater, it's about taking time in a musical segment, a pause in a musical way and then moving on.

It is a satire of the first family, so I certainly studied her.

Having a dad in the service was helpful. I was forever meeting new kids, going to new schools, moving to new neighborhoods. I was encouraged when I attended the American School in Germany.

I love being a mother; I hate being a housewife - the cooking, the laundry - because it takes away time I could be with my kids.
