I love the theater, and I did tons of theater before I ever did anything in front of the camera, but I haven't done anything in New York in a while, and I really, really want to. I've been offered a few things, but it's got to be something that works, because it's so disruptive to the family that it's got to be something that I cannot turn down.

Personally, I think life offers us the opportunity to take chances and make changes all the time.

I quit smoking the day I found out I was pregnant, which was nine years ago. But I'll still smoke in a movie. I have other vices, you know, like potato chips and chardonnay - but not together.

You become an actor because you don't want to do the same thing all the time.

I've never met a woman ever, anywhere, bar none, that was more feminine than Dixie Carter.

Lately, I just let myself eat it more because I think, 'Oh, my God, a piece of cheese tastes so good'. I think it's your body telling you something.

You know as far as diet goes, for a while I was really obsessed with counting fat grams along with the rest of the world.
