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

My actual personality probably lies someplace between the two.

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.

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

Addiction has had such an impact on my life and the people I love, and there really is not a lot about it that is funny. So the last thing I wanted was to give the impression that it’s all fun and games, and isn’t it funny what she gets away with.

I'm a very ritualistic, routine-oriented person, and I discovered over the years that I love working Monday through Friday.

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.
