My actual personality probably lies someplace between the two.

Mother elephants in the circus cannot help their babies, but we can.

I've also learned to no longer feel guilty if I'm invited out and don't want to go. If I start to say to myself, 'What's wrong with you that you're staying in five nights in a row to watch 'Forensic Files' instead of going out with your friends' I remind myself that it's what I need to do for myself at that point.

The high-grossing films are not all that interesting to me, I have to say. It's not stuff I would want to be in. Yes, you would want the big paycheck, but that's never really been my concern.

There's a little good and bad in everyone. Everybody I've ever loved is very complicated.

In my household there is an insane amount of laughter and celebration.

I think that you do get a little extra jolt of confidence when you win an Emmy.
