I think most actors like to be liked.

I'm not really big on slapstick humor. I like gentle humor.

There have been times when I wanted children and other times I've been grateful not to have them. I am a mess if I have to say goodbye to my dog for longer than five days. I don't know how I would deal with kissing my children as I left for work. I know there are women who are able to do that. I don't know if I could.

I very much like doing voiceovers, and I also like doing readings. I do books on tape and stuff. I have fun with it.

I had one nanny who made me sit in front of a bowl of porridge for three or four days running when I refused to eat it. I remember being very unhappy about that.

Age is not enviable in America. It's not applauded all that strongly. You have to take it all with a grain of salt.

Going back to Ireland involves at least six to seven emotional breakdowns for me per day.
