I think my uncle was probably the biggest influence in my life. We grew up in the same house, and he was just a really great, hard-working, honest, ethical person.

I've always wanted to produce. I've had my production company name for years, even though I didn't really do anything with it right away.

I understand men much better than most women I know.

The best part? Probably being able to portray such a respectable, ethical, intelligent, strong woman. That's still pretty rare in our business, unfortunately.

I think it's great that she's not perfect and wasn't perfect. I think that's maybe why so many young girls and different people look up to Mac and respect her even more.

I've been playing a lot of really strong, able woman, but I think it would be really fun to play a crazy drug addict, or something.

I'm still one of the guys and I always will be.
