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

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

Of course drugs were fun. And that's what's so stupid about anti-drug campaigns; they don't admit that. I can't say I feel particularly scarred or lessened by my experimentation with drugs. They've gotten a very bad name.

I'm not all that big on rides. I sort of like bumper cars but I don't really go to Disneyland all that much unless if have nieces and nephews or people to take.

People say, "Why is it that you love to act?" And you want to say, "Well, most of acting is sitting in your trailer, either bored or worried about the scene coming up." A lot of it is about things you don't really like, so it's a wonder why acting is such a huge draw, why everyone loves it so much.

I don't think people have ever cast me for anything too traditional or midwestern or housewifey.

The terrible thing about acting is the stops and starts.
