I have a thing about honesty; I think it's crucial to a relationship. Otherwise, one person holds all the power. It's healthy to be straightforward, and it turns out you can wind up weathering a lot. Knowing that everything is on the table - what you see is what you get - lends a sense of safety.

I am just blessed they are such great, really wonderful kids.

I try to stay focused on my life and do try not to be brought into the Hollywood fantasy.

If you get too attached to how you want it to come out the other side, you freeze. I try to trust that it will work out in the end.

I try to do a lot of research beforehand so I know where I want to go with a scene. I try not to get too stressed about it, because I find that's the worst thing

I do finish reading a script and say, Why are they making it and what are they talking about? I like to try and be responsible in my choices in that way.

I don't know if I was a star. I was certainly working a lot and that was strange because there were good things about it and things that were difficult.
