I would say divorce, breaking up, being a child of divorce, any of those things are always very challenging.
— Talia Balsam
I didn't have a sense of being in a show business family or of being different, partly because Los Angeles is an industry town, so you don't think about it as being special.
I'm much more shy than most of my family.
I really like being married. I love my husband.
I had the benefit of watching good people show me what it really is to be an actor - the day in and day out of it.
I used to wonder because I never thought I looked like either of my parents, but now I think I look like a conglomeration.
People always think actors are really 'out there,' so you wouldn't have me pegged as one, but I knew pretty early on it was what I wanted to do, and I think that's pretty lucky.
