In L.A., it's easy to get caught up in what you look like or how much money you have, and those aren't values I want my kids to adopt. Joan Cusack adoptcatcheasy Change image and share on social
Mum has always been a huge anti-war activist. She would go off to protest and get arrested. I have her passion, but it is not for politics. I am much more interested in psychology. It's more my job and my natural inclination. Joan Cusack activistantiarrest share on social
Because I don't think it's very healthy to hold people to idealized views. I think that's a certain stage in life, something kids do.

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 audiencefiguregreat share on social
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 chicagogoodhard share on social
Skating is big in Chicago. There's a lot of hockey; a lot of the boys play hockey. And figure skating is big. Joan Cusack bigboychicago Change image and share on social
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. Joan Cusack dadfinegreat share on social
