Glamour: You've said that your character, Elizabeth Burke, is the role that is most similar to you in real life. What do you admire most about her?
Tiffani Thiessen: Wow, I think a lot of things I admire about her actually. I admire the person that she strives to be. I admire her passion and her entire relationship with her husband. I admire that she's very strong in her career and owns her own business. She's creative, and she is in a field that I love, and I've always said that if I wasn't an actor, I'd be an event planner. Event planning and catering... food... I would do that whole side. There is so many things that I absolutely love about her.
Glamour: What would you like to see happen for Elizabeth and Peter?
Tiffani: From the moment I read the script in the pilot episode, I always loved that Peter and Elizabeth have a positive relationship, and you don't always see that on TV very often. You always see the drama of a relationship, or infidelity, or what isn't working because obviously that makes interesting TV, but what's nice is that I get stopped all the time by people who say, ‘It's so nice to see a positive relationship on TV. I love the fact that you and your husband love each other.’ I love hearing that. As for what I'd like to see happen, I think it's funny because a lot of people ask me if they'll have a baby or have children, and Tim and I talk about it because we both have families of course in our real lives. What I admire about them—and we've come up with our own ideas about why they don't have children—is that it's very common that people aren't conceiving as easily as they used to be because sometimes women are waiting a little bit longer to have kids, which makes it harder. But we've come up with our ideas why, and I think they are a very modern family in that sense. Their relationship is enough for them, and their dog is kind of their kid, and their careers do take a lot of their time. Although don't quote me on that, because next season we could have a kid on the show!
