Famous quotes by Joan Cusack:

"I play- it's kind of like a slice-of-life, LA women in their forties, playing forty kind of what's their friendship like, and what's their life like and so I just play one of the four friends."

"I love Chicago. It's such a great town, and it's got great culture and great history, and it's not as extreme as LA or New York, and it's just- it's hard for me for work, because I don't live and work in the same place and that's tough. But I'm- I love it."

"I'm taking the time to figure it out and making sure I'm with my son in the morning, and I'm getting him breakfast before he goes to school. It just takes a lot of energy, but doing a television show is such a great life for an actor, and that's why I wanted to do it, because it's hard if every time you work you have to go to a different city, when you don't live and work in the same place."

"Can they do both? That's a huge balance, I think, with kids- trying to find the right- it's everything, you know, it's social life, it's academics, it's sports."

"You don't have to make $20 million every time you make a movie."

"It's not really about money. It's about being centered. Money is kind of a symbol of how you are in your life and how you're going to be centered."

"Peep and the Big Wide World."

"Well, we're all actresses. We've got that going. We're all gals in our late thirties and early forties, and Frances McDormand and Catherine Keener have kids, and the director has kids, so we all have that, you know, and then everyone's kind of their own kind of person. It was fun for me to be around other actresses that were interesting, because I don't get that."

"Every week it's another opportunity to really make that work and figure out how to make it work better. And I love that it's like theater, too, and the audience, and it's so short. It's only 20 minutes. It's like a haiku or something."

"You know, I loved math. My mom was a math teacher."

"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."

"Skating is big in Chicago. There's a lot of hockey; a lot of the boys play hockey. And figure skating is big."

"I mean, the country was founded on free enterprise. There's good things about it, and there's obviously bad things about it."

"It's incredibly, incredibly difficult to get a movie made."

"We need comedies in the world! We need to laugh, it's all so hard."

"I think there's nothing better than laughing in life, so that's nice, to be thought of as someone who can make someone laugh. It's 'cause I think life is hard. You know, my dad was a really silly man. A great Irish silly man. And that's fine."

"It was fun; you know, at this point in my life it's like, I want to do stuff that's meaningful."

"I think it's fun to have work that you can relate to, that you can feel like is meaningful."

"I think America has a bad rap right now... and hopefully Obama will change that."

"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."
