I can only live my life in this way. I don't think I would be living it a different way if I wasn't acting.

When you're acting you put so much of yourself into working. As much fun as it is, it's still hard work and it's still a challenge.

It was really really neat to make the movie because there were mentally challenged actors in the movie. So that was really really cool to work with them and they were always really happy, and they made everybody really happy on the set too.

It's what I love about what I do and the life that I'm able to have and be able to just be so normal one day and be here the next...I feel so lucky to be able to do what I do.

I do feel very American. I think it's something I'm proud of and proud to be by chance born here. Honestly, that's something I think about.

I'm very proud to be a woman - you're part of a tribe. Automatically, you feel connected to another woman when you meet them. That's really special.

When everything in your life is right on track, it's easy to believe that things happen for a reason. It's easy to have faith. But when things start to go wrong, then it's very hard to hold on to that faith. It's hard not to wonder who's reasons these things are happening for.
