I don't know whether that comes from having a family - having something very important at home that needed to be protected.
I really needed to have something in my life, because I realized there were other things more important than my career. So I love having my children and my family.
Work is secondary - for me, what's important is having a close-knit family and having someone you can call family.
You know, just in terms of having to have a life on the road, you know, having the celebrity aspect be a burden for my family, friends and extended family.
To this day, at my relatively advanced age, I still don't have a place I can really call home. I've never bought property. I just move between temporary base camps. I know that the very notion of home, of having a family or community, is a hard one for me to embrace.
In everything I do, having it be important or try to express something or it having the ability to demystify something or draw attention to the nuance of something is always interesting to me.
My childhood was protected by love and a comfortable home. Yet, while still a very young child, I began instinctively to feel that there was something lacking, even in my own home, some false conception of family relations, some incomplete ideal.
As you know, I'm a black girl out of the projects of New York City, raised in a single parent home because my parents divorced very very young... welfare and homeless at four and then again at 16 and just not having the things or the necessary tools that society would say I needed to have in order to be any kind of success in life.
I feel blessed: having a family is something that I've always wanted. Having a second child is the realization of a dream come true.
Having it all means having the same work and family choices that men do. It doesn't mean having everything that you want. No one has that.
The most important thing for having a party is that the hostess is having fun. I'm very organized. I make a plan for absolutely everything. I never have anything that has to be cooked while the guests are there. The only thing I might have to do is take something out of the oven and carve it.
I'm just very keen to have a family and both Catherine and I, you know, are looking forward to having a family in the future.
I believe that having a family in the dressing room is very important when it comes to winning trophies.
For me, having it all doesn't mean having the corner office at work and a penthouse at home if there aren't kids running around as I'm trying to cook my husband something special.
For me, it's about having energy in the field and making sure I'm having fun and making sure everyone else around is having fun, whether it be telling a joke or something like that. It's to make sure we're all upbeat and we're ready to go.
I have been very lucky because I have had the opportunity to see what it's like to have little or no money and what it's like to have a lot of it. I'm lucky because people make such a big deal of it and, if I didn't experience both, I wouldn't be able to know how important it really is for me. I can't comment on what having a lot of money means to others, but I do know that for me, having a lot more money isn't a lot better than having enough to cover the basics.
Comedy is important! When you're having a stressful day, and you come home, you want to watch something that makes you laugh.
