I want my kids to experience passion. I want them to see that I have things I feel passionate about because it is such a great feeling to really love something. Joan Cusack Read Quote
I think America has a bad rap right now… and hopefully Obama will change that. Joan Cusack Read Quote
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. Joan Cusack Read Quote
Maybe I’m more drawn to those kind of parts because they are meaningful to me. I mean, more parent-y ones, I find them interesting to do. Joan Cusack Read Quote
I think it’s fun to have work that you can relate to, that you can feel like is meaningful. Joan Cusack Read Quote
I think if you’re in this business, like any high-stakes business, the highs and lows can make you a manic-depressive person, if you weren’t that way to start with. ‘Cause it’s just so crazy on your psyche. A lot of it has to do with people thinking they’re greater than someone else. Joan Cusack Read Quote
A relationship is hard in and of itself. And having kids is really hard work, but I think it’s really meaningful, as is a relationship. But they all take work. Joan Cusack Read Quote
I think us gals need to stay in and just change the way it works, so men aren’t being workaholics and avoiding life and relationships, and they can make films in a reasonable amount of time, so you can have a family and a life outside of work. And have more balanced, content-driven, enjoyable movies. Joan Cusack Read Quote
It was a terrible blow that was dealt when I was fired from ‘Saturday Night Live’, but I have to say that a few doors opened right away. Movie roles started to roll in, and pretty soon, I was over it. Joan Cusack Read Quote
If you do television, and it’s great, it’s the best job there is. Every week it’s another opportunity to really make that work and figure out how to make it work better. I love that it’s like theater too, and the audience, and it’s so short, like twenty minutes… It’s like a Haiku or something. Joan Cusack Read Quote
