I know this is going to sound corny, but I love my life. I love my baby, so I love getting to wake up with him. And I have the most amazing job, with writing that any actor would love and costars who I can’t wait to see on Monday mornings. And I love coming home to my husband.

Margulies frames contentment as an unapologetic, everyday practice rather than a grand achievement. By admitting it may sound “corny,” she anticipates cynicism about happiness and rejects it, emphasizing gratitude for ordinary routines: waking with her child, returning to a supportive partner, and going to work with material and colleagues she genuinely enjoys. The quote also highlights a rare alignment between personal and professional fulfillment—motherhood, marriage, and creative work reinforcing rather than competing with one another. Its significance lies in its plainspoken endorsement of satisfaction and stability, especially in an industry often associated with restlessness, ambition, and public scrutiny.
