Being pregnant finally helped me understand what my true relationship was with my body - meaning that it wasn't put on this earth to look good in a swimsuit. I was like, 'Look, I can carry a baby! I'm gaining weight right, everything's going well.' And I've had that relationship ever since.

We’re only here briefly. And while I’m here I want to allow myself joy.

I was one of seven, and we took a lot of road trips - long road trips. And this was before iPhones and iPads and DVD players in cars. I remember how novel it was when I got my own Walkman so I could listen to music.

Being an actress hasn't made me insecure. I was insecure long before I declared I was an actress.

If I had a project that I had auditioned for and I was getting close to getting it, I didn't want to tell anybody because I thought then I wouldn't get it, but in reality that really had no bearing on whether or not I got a part.

I think there are certain people that you'll always want to impress no matter how much success you have.

That's always been my philosophy: I try to just be as straightforward as possible, and then I don't really have to question what I said or regret anything.
