Soulmate" is an overused term, but a true soul connection is very rare, and very real.

It's hard to stay true to yourself and what you want in life when there are so many distractions and so much craziness going on around you.

I know I can handle dramatic roles, but I don't think I should have to play a young mother on crack to prove it.

I love men who have a lot going on in their lives, like I do.

I just think that there's so much judgment in the world, whether it's coming from women in general or from men onto women - it's a lot. And when it comes to being a mom, I wish everyone could band together and realize that everyone has different beliefs, different styles, and different things that work them and their family.

Every week I read about myself in a magazine, about something that I haven't done or some place that I've never been or don't even know. It's just gossip, rumors, egos, and politics.

At first, when I got bad press and people would talk bad about my family or something like that, I would get really upset, but now it's just not worth my energy.
