I had a very dysfunctional family, and a very hard childhood. So I made a world out of words. And it was my salvation.
There’s no traditional three act structure – or beginning, middle and end – to a family tree. By its nature, it has almost infinite different branches, or episodes, to explore in every direction.
I love grocery shopping when I’m home. That’s what makes me feel totally normal. I love both the idea of home as in being with my family and friends, and also the idea of exploration. I think those two are probably my great interests.

My family is Jewish, Buddhist, Baptist and Catholic. I don’t believe in man-made religions.
Italians come to ruin most generally in three ways, women, gambling, and farming. My family chose the slowest one.
I knew from very early on that I wanted kids. I wasn’t one of those women who goes, ‘Well, if it happens, it happens.’ I really wanted a family. Although I didn’t actually have my first child until I was 37, I always felt I’d get there.
