You have people like Sarah Jessica Parker - and it's also because of her mother and where she came from and all that stuff - but how you're taught to be responsible for yourself rather than endlessly people waiting for you and bringing you things.

I was in film before I was on stage. I started acting when I was like 12. But, no, I think my mother indoctrinated me very early.

I was posing as a 9-year-old girl who was a blue-ribbon prizewinner; she rode on a Shetland pony, the small horse that was the appropriate size for her.

I have a cousin, a second cousin, who lives in L.A., and she was with me while I was getting ready. She was talking about her father and his brothers. And I remember my mother's tales of how competitive they were with each other and how they would play for blood, you know. And I thought - I'm an only child, and I don't know what that's like. I have to figure out the Southern thing.

I feel like when I really did my research, I both came to hate Nancy Reagan more.

I am heat obsessed. I crave the heat in my bedroom.

We didn't know each other before [the film "Killing Reagan"], but I just knew we would love each other [with Tim Matheson].
