“It's great if a pilot starts off great and if it doesn't start off so great it's not that big a deal: everybody's baby is born ugly.

“With two sons born eighteen months apart, I operated mainly on automatic pilot through the ceaseless activity of their early childhood. I remember opening the refrigerator late one night and finding a roll of aluminum foil next to a pair of small red tennies. Certain that I was responsible for the refrigerated shoes, I quickly closed the door and ran upstairs to make sure I had put the babies in their cribs instead of the linen closet.” TwoRememberNightCertainNextBornDoorsChildhoodSonBabyMonthsActivityFindingsLateRedResponsibleShoesOpeningRanPairsPilotsClosetsOne NightEighteenRefrigeratorsUpstairsEarly ChildhoodLinenFoilsAluminumAluminum Foil Book:American Mom: Motherhood, Politics, and Humble Pie Source: American Mom: Motherhood, Politics, and Humble Pie

“How can you sustain life? [Dan] Fogelman is magic, and I think the other scripts of his that I've read for this show specifically are as beautiful as the pilot script [of This Is Us]. And he said it in a meeting [regarding the stillbirth of a child], "You can't kill a baby every week." But I think the idea that you can have these impactful moments that are as heightened as the loss of a child - it's life.” ThinkingChildrenSaidIdeasMomentsShowsBeautifulLossMagicWeekBabyMeetingsScriptsPilotsLoss Of A ChildStillbirth Author:Milo Ventimiglia
“I have one brother, John, an airline pilot, who is seven years younger. He's adopted, though we're still blood related - he's my cousin.
