But I've always been hard to cast, I've never been an ingenue, I've never been the romantic lead. I'm an actor; give me the script and I do what I do and hope it's good.

I'm just not one of those people who thought having biological children was that important, to me it was more about wanting to raise a child.

It's hard to notice things without people noticing me and that takes some getting used to.

My friends started having children after college, while I was pursuing this crazy acting career and living hand to mouth. Plus, all my boyfriends were artists struggling to make a living. Having kids didn't make any sense - why would I take on more of a financial burden when I couldn't even afford a dog?

An addict is an addict. If they're not acting out in one area, it tends to come out in another. I think there was a time when I considered myself a work addict, but that's no longer accurate.

I wanted to act; that was my one goal. I wanted to devote all my time to acting and not waitressing or anything else.

The world gets very small after a while, if you stick around long enough.
