Hollywood is the backdrop of my family, and I know that the movie business is incredibly cruel as you get older.

Being an actor, you are recognized for being somebody else, whereas these books are distilled from me.

I've been happily married to Chris for almost 20 years.

Actually, the books were never a planned career path.

My husband and I are very different. Our company is called Syzygy Industries, which can mean a pair of opposites. And that's exactly what we are. Yet there is obviously a very strong pull toward each other.

It's not unlike the movies for human actors. Once a dog stars in a movie, they don't work very much anymore. It's kind of heartbreaking.

I had the best time I ever had on a Jim Cameron movie - True Lies, 1994. It was the single most freeing experience as an actor I've ever had. And, of course, in the midst of it there was this humungous circus that he conceived.
