When I was 8, my favorite toy was a stapler. My brother was afraid of me.

I squirrel away sealed greeting cards that people give me so I can open them later when I'm having a bad day.

I'm never going to be a modern gal. I love colonial. I love early American. I love a big rectangular piece of brown furniture on a hardwood floor.

It's so nice after 10 years as a blond actress in Hollywood to have people let you do smart things.

Getting pregnant wasn't easy, and I found that devastating. I really beat myself up for waiting so long when I'd always wanted children and family had been the basis of my happiness my whole life.

If you live in a small space, you should do the things that make it feel luxurious.

It's a reality that in this business there's an expectation of being thin. But having a baby is a reality too, and it's more important for me to make milk than to fit into those tiny pants. So that's just going to have to wait.
