It's really amazing to be a part of something that people have an emotional response to, even though it's a network sitcom.

That's really fulfilling.

It's sometimes hard to accept that the people you love and feel the closest to may have different dreams and goals from yours, and those are valid. And I've felt that way: accepting people's differences and recognizing them as valid choices even if they're different from your own.
