I'm just a normal mother with the same struggles as any other mother who's trying to do everything at once and trying to be a wife and maintain a relationship. There's absolutely nothing perfect about my life, but I just try hard.

The work gets more difficult as you get older. You learn more and you gather more experiences, there is deeper pain and higher highs.

If your role is to mentor somebody, what you're essentially doing is taking stock of what you've learned, the mistakes you've made, the successes you've had, and you kind of coalesce them and then you translate them back out.

You can call me a lot of things, but you can't call me complacent!

I remember when I was maybe 27 years old and kind of at the height of my movie stardom - it was around the time of the Oscar and this and that. I think I was very much believing my own hype, which how could you not? I was sitting with my dad, feeling great about my life and everything that was happening, and he was like, "You know, you're getting a little weird...You're kind of an asshole." And I was like, "What the hell?" I was totally devastated. But it turned out to be basically the best thing that ever happened to me.

I think my days of trying outrageous things are over. I'm not looking for trends, I just want to be the best version of myself.

I understand that if you set out to be a celebrity, then you asked for it, but all I wanted to be was an actor.
