I never had a problem resisting somebody that I knew was going to break my heart.

I have this internal battle between, I need to work, I need to work, I need to work and I need to be home with my kids. And the kids win.

My parents came from a poor background and worked their way up because of education. They saw it as a way to succeed. So they cared about me getting straight A grades when I was growing up.

I don't think that because you are a perfectionist that that makes you necessarily automatically unlikable.

I am lucky to have had an attentive, curious and loving dad and heart-smart, down to earth, gifted mother. They changed the outlooks of their own lives and have never forgotten the people and organizations that helped them dream bigger than their circumstances should have allowed.

I feel lucky, though, because even when 'Alias' was popular, I was still sent scripts against type. I've never felt like the world only sees me one way. But yes, it's been really fun to be bad.

You stick to the script, the script is Bible.
