Tea, who portrays the secretary of state on the hit CBS drama, found love with her 58-year-old TV husband and went public with their off-screen relationship in December, after quietly dating since the summer.

She and the 54-year-old Californication actor were married for seven years, tying the knot in May 1997 following a brief eight-week courtship.

The former married couple, who were on and off from 2008 - 2012, have two children together, son Kyd (aged 12) and 15-year-old daughter Madelaine.

'On occasion, I want to throttle him,' said Tea about David. 'But in any real relationship with someone you love, that's true.'

'Pain is where you grow,' she shared about her life mantra.

'Fear is terrible. I don't want people to judge me and find me wanting. I spent some time in my marriage being fearful of how it would go, or end, or not end. I didn't know what I was doing.'

In addition, Tea vowed to 'never speak again' about her personal relationships 'especially after what it did to my kids.'

And as the mother-of-two continues to move forward with her personal life, her professional career is also accelerating.

Madam Secretary received the joyous news that it was picked up for a second season with the premiere date announced as March 1.

'I felt my kids were ready for me to take on a potentially multi-year project,' she explained on what attracted her to take on the role.

'Shooting in New York, working with Morgan Freeman [the show's co-creator] and getting a paycheck sealed the rest.'

While fans of the show may think Tea's character Elizabeth McCord was inspired by political heroines Hillary Clinton or Madeline Albright, Tea shared her surprising inspiration behind the take-charge lead.

'Above everything, I want my character to be nonjudgemental. People assume that inspiration comes from Hillary or Madeline. It doesn't,' she clarified.

'It comes from my dad. I've never once in my life heard him engage in gossip. He would have made a great secretary of state.'

Reflecting on her childhood and the relationship with her parents, Tea recalled her rebellious attitude.

'How much pain I caused my parents. I'm sorry I scared the bejesus out of you with all my big ideas,' she said on what she appreciates more as she ages.

On some of her regrets, she added: 'To float out the second-story window with an umbrella like Mary Poppins into a pile of leaves below when I was five. To ride my bike off the big rocks into the ocean on a dare when I was eight. To sneak out and see Rocky Horror at midnight when I was 13. To drop out of college. To try chewing tobacco. To be an actor.'

She has yet to win an Emmy or an Oscar for her acting performances, but she disclosed her disinterest towards accolades and trophies.

'People tell me I’ve never really made it. They say, "You don’t have an Oscar." There’s not an accolade in Hollywood that could replace time with my kids,' she stated.

'At this stage of my life, it’s not about contentment. Or appealing to 20-year-olds. Or awards. It’s about finding something more. As I tell my daughter, "Hear your voice first."'
