There's lots of problem solving in any marriage but when you have this collective goal that is a human being it's an inspiring rally point.

The activists will not stop in trying to impose their extreme views on the rest of us and they have now plotted out a state-by-state strategy to increase the number of judicial decisions redefining marriage without the voice of the people being heard.

Marriage is important to me and I love the idea of being married.

There are more than 30 states who either by statute or constitutional amendment have defined marriage as being between a man and a woman.

I love being in a relationship but marriage isn't for me.

I'm not that big a fan of marriage as an institution and I don't know why women need to have children to be seen as complete human beings.

I am for gay marriage. Or same-sex marriage. I don't want to say it the wrong way. I think people are sensitive to it. I have been painted as being this right-wing zealot on choice. Nothing could be further from the truth.

In a broken marriage it can be challenging and tough to get that work/life balance. I love performing but I also love being a mum and I hate having to choose between them.

So I really did stop and change what I saw I was about and really try to put that principle into play as the center of everything - my friendships my marriage my career my family my way of being in the world. And that changed everything for me.

It's nice to be able to work I'd love to be able to do another TV show I could do in Chicago so I could live and work in the same place. It's hard being a parent and being in a good marriage and it all takes a lot of work but if you're not there you can't do any of it.
