To me, being an actor is the best job in the land, next to being a mother and having a family and a husband. I just think it's the realization of, "Hey, this is the greatest situation in the world."

I guess getting older has its benefits, one of them being perspective.

Life gets more interesting as it goes on. It becomes fuller because there is perspective there.

I love the roles that I'm having the chance to play, and I've learned to just let go a little. Children teach you that, every day. Life is large, so do the best you can and move on. Do everything you can in a given day, and then let it go.

The great thing about an independent film is that you're too busy working, and you're too busy hoping to God to get it done.

The work for the actor is always the same. We're looking for a human being. We're looking for believable human behavior.

I think women are used to stepping up and getting the job done when you need to.
