I remember the days of auditioning and being nervous and so I really didn't want to make people have to jump through hoops to do auditions and be nervous and make them more nervous. I kind of wanted to hire everybody and find something for everybody.

I like to hide behind the characters I play. Despite the public perception, I am a very private person who has a hard time with the fame thing.

I thought I'd become a funeral director when I wasn't going to be an actor. I thought I would be good at helping some people with the grieving process and with trying to get them to talk about and understand who this person was.

Happy endings are just stories that haven't finished yet.

I'm getting a wrinkle above my eyebrow because I just can't stop lifting it, and I love that you know.

First and foremost comes my family and my life with Brad. We have so much joy in raising our children and teaching them about the world that nothing really compares to that.

Every day we choose who we are by how we define ourselves.
