If I don’t say this, every woman who reads this will send me hate emails, “You kissed Bradley Cooper!” Care to comment?

Bradley Cooper is ridiculous-handsome, charming, and a good guy.  I felt like I was an eighth grader all over again.

As a working actress and mom with irregular hours, what is your secret to maintaining the balance and your sanity?

I have no idea how any mom finds balance or sanity in general.  Since my husband travels a lot for work, I have a babysitter(s) for when I have to work and I try to find time to see friends with or without the boy.  Commiserating with other moms seems to bring me sanity, reminding me I'm not alone and it seriously takes a village.  I admire all my friends and women who have two plus kids.  I can't even imagine...yet.

As a young girl, which cartoon or live action kids’ TV character did you have a crush on?

This is odd and really dates me but I loved Mickey Dolenz from The Monkees from four years old on.  I'd walk into walls like he did during music sequences. 

What character on Yo Gabba Gabba can you relate to the most and why?

I don't know Yo Gabba Gabba!
  

Ben is 15 months old. When should I get him into it?

 

How has being a comic and an improviser helped you as a parent? 

I think as a comedy improviser I've learned to just go with whatever he gives me-to a point, of course.  These toddlers of course are like crappy improvisers who say no all the time yet want to steer the scene.  It would be a train wreck on stage but it's really funny in his high chair. 

What happened the first time you found yourself “in the weeds” as a parent and how did you recover?

Being in the weeds with a child can be bad!  It seems like you nearly have to let go of the concept of shame if you're in public with a kid-tastrophe but at home you can always give the child a time out, put them down to sleep, cry or scream(not at the kid) and then have a glass or bottle of wine once everyone's in bed.

Fill In The Blank:

If my kids see the video of the time I had to ________they will never stop making fun of me.

Video of the 'short films' I made in high school.  The laughter would mostly about my hairstyle.

I want to be my son for one day just so I could _____________.

I'd love to be my son for a day so I could run around screaming with joy for a couple of hours and then actually pass out for a two hour nap.  It's nearly like college.

If you could outsource any aspect of parenting, what would it be?

I hate cutting his nails.  Oh and emptying the diaper genie.  Wooh. 

What would be your dream role?

 
Working on a tv show I love.
