Joan Cusack <\/b>has particular reasons for stepping back into the limelight in recent years.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think because I\u2019ve worked for a long time, and I feel so honored to be able to work in this industry,\u201d Cusack, 63, told Variety<\/i><\/span><\/a> <\/i>at the Tuesday, June 9, premiere of Toy Story 5<\/a>. <\/i>\u201cBut it\u2019s also great to live your life and raise your kids and be in Chicago and be a normal person. It\u2019s, kind of, priceless.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cusack, who returns to the spotlight as the voice of Jessie in Toy Story 5<\/i>, lived in Chicago<\/a> well before finding success as an actress.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy dad\u2019s job brought [my parents] to Chicago for a couple of years, which they thought was a pretty good place to raise a family. They were first-generation Chicagoans,\u201d Cusack previously told The Guardian<\/i><\/span><\/a> <\/i>in 2011. \u201cI still live in Chicago, as does my mom. It is unusual for an actress to live there, but it is where I grew up and my parents were right, it is a good place to raise kids.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cusack has been married to attorney Richard Burke<\/b><\/a>, with whom she shares two sons, since 1999.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want [my kids] to see that I have things I feel passionate about because it is such a great feeling to really love something,\u201d the actress recalled to The Guardian <\/i>at the time. \u201cMy parents had five kids and we are all close. We were a traditional family.\u201d<\/p>\n
