I always knew I wanted to act, but my parents neverencouraged me. If I was talentless, they didn't want me to be heartbroken.

My life is good because I am not passive about it. I invest in what is real. Like real people, to do real things, for the real me.

I try to avoid barbecue potato chips. They're my weakness.

I would rather die than let my kid eat Cup-a-Soup.

I don't want to be rich and I don't want to be famous.

One evening when I had my wood-burning stove going I realized I hadn't thought of dessert.

It's the difference between someone who loves you more than anything in the world giving you criticism and getting it from some bitter stranger on the Internet. What my dad said to me was the kind of criticism where I was like, "Oh, my God, I'm on the wrong track." I'm so grateful to him for doing that. He was such a no-nonsense guy in that sense.
