You've got the whole civil rights movements emanating from the south, you've got the music that came out of the south that is the core of our current music, so for me that thinking comes out of having Dukes of Hazzard thrown in your face: that the south is a bunch of twangy people that I can't understand. So this is, hopefully, part of the movement to restore the south to its proper and rightful place in our nation... which is huge and pervasive. It's not about Texas - I'm not saying Texas doesn't have it's own unique history - but the south has this at its core.

I think when it comes to Botox and surgery, actresses should do it or not do it, but be honest about their choices.

I make decisions for my life, not the other way around. Besides, when you have a kid, you must weigh everything against time with your child.

I just want to sleep, and eat, and learn about what's going on in the world.

I will walk out on a scene if it's all lit and ready to go but it's not happening.

It's fun to be loose. Just like on stage, all of your great ideas come from looseness.

I hope to find the roles that are age appropriate but not yearning to be younger, or parenting ad nauseam.
