They would have that all the time, too.
Wow. Yeah. Yeah, I think so. I mean, I decided it was, listen, I think I'm incredibly lucky to have been able to be home with our children. But Stephen's hours were really long and difficult. And I felt that I just wanted to be home with them when I could. So I ended up spending a lot of my time as a stay-at-home mother, which I had never expected to do. And it was real privilege.

Yeah, I think there were sacrifices. I had trained to be an actress, and I decided not to be an actress even before we got married. But then later in life, I had opportunities to do some performing, which I chose frequently not to do because it would take me out of town, and I felt that our family needed somebody at home.

I mean, I don't in any way want to suggest I ever felt cheated because it was such a privilege to be able to have the life I had. I feel incredibly lucky that I was with my children. I mean, even though Stephen had a busy job, he wasn't gone. He just came home late. So we were always together as a family. And in show business, that's super unusual.

So I think we've had an incredibly lucky time, frankly. Very blessed.

Hell with the family. Yeah. I had someone say to me once, Terry, that I think is so funny. I guess you'd been doing the Colbert pour for a year or two, Stephen. Yeah. I was chairing a book fair in our kids' school, and there was an author who said that she wanted to meet me because I was Stephen's wife. And I remember saying to my friend, my life is just getting really weird. This is just weird.

And she turned to me and said, the life you ordered has arrived. And I thought it was such a funny way, but it is true. It all comes as a package, right? If you want to be a performer or if you want to be an artist and with fame comes attention, comes opportunity, but also comes sacrifice of some way.

Probably on mine, too, actually. I mean, I was lucky enough to have had my father for a long time. He just passed away this past April. And at his funeral, when I delivered the eulogy, I mentioned how as a little girl, I used to like to put my feet in my father's footprints on the sand. And I think metaphorically, that's how I felt about him.
