My dad always said he couldn't remember a time when I did not want to act.

I don't really understand the concept of having a career, or what agents mean when they say they're building one for you. I just do things I think will be interesting and that have integrity. I hate those tacky, pointless, big, fluffy, unimportant movies.

I think the most important beauty lesson I've learned from my mom is to be happy in what you do.

I try to remember, as I hear about friends getting engaged, that it's not about the ring. It's a grave thing, getting married.

When I had kids I sort of went into a hole for a few years and I think when I came out of that, I started to really become myself and know what works on me.

I never thought that I'd be considered to have a good body. I was bony up top and kind of dumpy on the bottom.

My father was really good at having me stand on my own two feet, both financially and philosophically. His whole parenting philosophy was to give my brother and me the skills to be grown-ups and the curiosity to ask the right questions.
