Sometimes I think my past life was unrealized. I met a tragic end – it might have been a car over a cliff. But it’s true, I came from another time and place, and landed in Paris Hilton’s backyard. Christine Ebersole Read Quote
You can still love your job and feel guilty. You can still love your child and feel guilty. There’s a lot of grey in that. It’s about being conscious when you are spending time with your kids, being with them in the moment. Christine Ebersole Read Quote

I experience psychic phenomena, so people think I must be crazy. But you have to be accessible and intelligent to be a good actor. I might not have gotten the best grades in school, but I have a very high level of emotional intelligence. You have to be open to receive. Christine Ebersole Read Quote

I began my career performing in plays and musicals in New York, but by the mid-’80s, opportunities in Hollywood beckoned and I made the move to Los Angeles. It was a good decision. Work took off, but most important, I met my family out there – my husband, Bill, and the children we would adopt: Elijah, Mae-Mae, and Aron. Christine Ebersole Read Quote
I thought my family was really funny. Everybody in my family was funny. My mom and dad both have great senses of humor and really saw the funny in stuff, so I think that’s probably where it came from. I always try to see the funny in things. Christine Ebersole Read Quote
How do I let go of Maplewood? It’s like Shangri-la. It’s so culturally diverse, and all my children are adopted – a transracial family. And we’re not the freaks. Everybody flies their freak flag high in Maplewood! Christine Ebersole Read Quote
