But I'll never be one of those women who feel that they always have to wear earrings and aren't properly dressed without them.

I don't know anyone who was never a geek, really, when they look at their own lives. I think that from the outside looking in, you think that you weren't necessarily a tragic geek, but yes, you did lean in that direction.

I remember, my mom didn't have any help, so if she needed to be somewhere after school, we'd just go down to the neighbors' and she'd give us a snack and make sure we did our homework. There weren't any latchkey kids.

And you can't hide in a comedy scene either. You have to give in to the scene and commit.

It's not a bad thing, is it, to be strong in some ways and fragile and vulnerable in others?

Approaching the treadmill I tell myself, 'Okay, it's just 10 minutes, after that you can get off the thing'. That's no time at all.

Women should take care of each other, not tear each other down.
