I am to a fault an introspective person. But I am not a reflective person - except for a big mistake, and then I really think about it.

I'm a little more extreme than a homebody. Unless there's some event I really have to go to, I don't like to leave my house.

I like being married. I like taking care of people, having someone to make dinner for.

The way Hollywood portrays mothers - you're either all good and saint-like, or you're all bad. And I think the real honesty of motherhood is not given a voice in movies. I miss that as an audience member.

There have been advances in the technology of beauty that I think are great. & you know what? Use it.

No more bare bodies in film scenes for me. For my children's sake, I must stop. The other kids at school keep throwing it up to my children, and they are not kind.

I studied acting for 10 years before I went for an audition. I studied with Lee Strasberg and Actors Studio teachers, and went to the High School of Performing Arts.
