There is nothing you can control about love.

Most of us fall in love with someone's persona and spend the next three to five years discovering who that person really is. If you can stay connected through that process of raw vulnerability, I think you have a shot at the prize of knowing and accepting another human being for who and what they really are after years of highs and lows.

I'm thrilled with how my career is evolving.

The greater your capacity to love, the greater your capacity to feel the pain.

I have been pregnant in so many movies it's ridiculous.

Well, honestly I feel like an ordinary woman.

I remember being seven and asking my mom if I was as pretty as Monique [my best friend in grade school]. And with all the love in the world, my mom looked at me and said, 'Oh, honey, you're so funny.' So, she doesn't lie to me...she answers the question by not answering and instead tells me what she thinks is my greatest strength.
