You're supposed to look a certain way when you're a celebrity, but I want to take care of my baby, and those two things don't mesh very well.

I know I live a charmed, beautiful life and nobody wants to hear a celebrity whine. The last thing I want to do is complain; I love what I do and I know every job comes with a downside.

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

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.

Well, you can't be trying to achieve success of any kind in this business without accepting that there's going to be a flip side to it.

I wish I was one of those cute pregnant girls who wear skinny jeans throughout their pregnancies. But I just gain weight.

I hoped, hoped, that maybe I'd be lucky enough to do something on Broadway, in the chorus.
