I think everybody wants to be a rock star.

I think that the audience wants to see women being put into real situations where they can relate to them, rather than seeing some glamorous woman in a 'Bond' film.

You always envy someone else's life and, as a woman, you're always comparing your life to someone else's life.

I went to college at North Carolina School of the Arts and took a lot of singing classes, and it really is so connected to emotions.

Ultimately, I don't think you can teach a tone-deaf person how to sing. Some talents you're just born with, unfortunately.

At my wedding, my bridesmaids said, "You're the funniest person we've ever met." I hope I make people laugh, I hope I make people feel comfortable. I like to go out and have a good time. I don't take myself too seriously. I never have. This is all one spinning granite planet, and I'm lucky I get to act and do what I love. Life is good. I'm not going to compete for attention. You find that a lot in Hollywood with actresses, where you're just like, "Just chill out.".

I started doing regional theater. My first job was "The Importance of Being Earnest" at Dallas Theater Center.
