Being "America's Sweetheart", that label gets put on a lot of people. I don't pay that much attention. And I'm not trying to shake anything. I'm just following my instincts and doing work that is coming to me and I'm just grateful for it.

You have to be really comfortable in your skin. You have to start with being in love with you are, with who you've become.

I was just always the girl that people would come and talk to about their problems, and I still am.

Where would you be without friends? The people to pick you up when you need lifting? We come from homes far from perfect, so you end up almost parent and sibling to your friends - your own chosen family. There's nothing like a really loyal, dependable, good friend. Nothing.

Maybe it's a fairy tale, but I believe in happily ever after.

I think when you're off the clock, you should be off the clock.

Well, honestly I feel like an ordinary woman.
