A relationship is hard in and of itself. And having kids is really hard work, but I think its really meaningful, as is a relationship. But they all take work. – Joan Cusack

Can they do both? Thats a huge balance, I think, with kids- trying to find the right- its everything, you know, its social life, its academics, its sports. – Joan Cusack
I take parenting incredibly seriously. I want to be there for my kids and help them navigate the world, and develop skills, emotional intelligence, to enjoy life, and Im lucky to be able to do that and have two healthy, normal boys. – Joan Cusack
I feel theres a power in theatre, but its an indirect power. Its like the relationship of the sleeper to the unconscious. You discover things you cant afford to countenance in waking life. You can forget them, remember them a day later or not have any idea what they are about. – Tony Kushner
The thing that I think is the most important is taking moments to express your appreciation to your partner. A thank you or a quick kiss can go a long way toward affirming your relationship and commitment to each other. Thats not hard to do even when youre juggling insane careers and three kids. – Michael Ian Black
