What does it mean to a successful woman today? Does it mean you have to be a mother? If you are a mother, does it mean you have to be a mother with a husband? If you don’t have a husband, what is the role that the man plays? I think there are a lot of confusing things that we’re all really still sorting out. Lisa Edelstein Read Quote
The roles that men and women play are no longer the standard traditional roles of way back when but are those of two very individual people living their lives.

For me, just being how old I am, I know I don’t want to be a single mom. I really would rather make it a two-person job. But I’ve also come to terms with not being a mother at all. I’m actually really good with either direction that my life can take as being a valid experience. Lisa Edelstein Read Quote
I always think, medically… you really have to be your advocate. You have to be able to back up everything that you’re feeling with some information and protect yourself through the world of hospitals and doctors’ offices, so the more information the better. Lisa Edelstein Read Quote
Everybody in the world has a different reason for wishing they could say things that most people know not to say. Lisa Edelstein Read Quote

Well, I don’t think characters change. I think they become more revealed. I don’t think you really can change a character on a show. Lisa Edelstein Read Quote
