Got a question for Gabby? She's answering you here!

Want the secret to a long and happy marriage? Just start laughing, says actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who celebrates her 22nd anniversary in June. "You have to be able to laugh, even under the worst of circumstances," Julia tells Gabby Reece. Julia credits her sense of humor with helping her cope in every situation in life. "When things are so bad that it's either you're going to cry or you're going to start hysterical laughing, I go the hysterical route and it's often highly inappropriate!"

Gabby's "Honeyline" series features her intimate interviews with her celebrity friends to highlight how every friend on our individual "honeylines" plays a different role that enhances our lives and helps us balance it all. For Julia, who had her two sons during her run on Seinfeld, that balance is also found by setting realistic expectations. "It isn't easy, frankly. I think the worst notion is, 'You can do it all, and you can do it all perfectly.' Because guess what? You really can't," Julia says. "You can do almost all of it and you can do almost all of it really well."

And, it doesn't hurt to surround yourself with women who understand the pressures of work and family. Gabby says Julia is enjoying a more efficient schedule at The New Adventures of Old Christine. "It's mostly women, not only women on it, but women running it," Gabby notes, "and she said there is a difference because women are like, "OK I have to get this [done] and pick up the kids!'"
