If your home is peaceful, then you're going to go out in your day peacefully.

I read every single letter. Some just break my heart. I've cried over letters that have come in, from young women and older women alike, saying to me, "You know, you made me want to stop crash dieting and just be healthy. You are my role model. I want to be like you."

In your 20s you can be pretty, but you don't accomplish real beauty until you find wisdom and depth.

That's what happens in Hollywood. People are like, 'I want to hate you, because everyone else seems to love you.' But the reality is this: I'm a simple person who's not interested in attention and who just wants to go about her business.

I am who I am and I am what I am. And it's beautiful. And it's okay even if it doesn't look like the sexiest Victoria Secret model. It also boils down to my interactions with people.

Outside of acting, the person that I admire the most is my mother.

I adore having people over to my home. My number one reason I love that is because I love to see people at ease with each other.
