I want my girls to love math. I want them to think that being a scientist is the coolest possible job on the planet. I want them to not be afraid to lean toward their femininity.

My mom was really vigorous about making sure that we saw things and that we questioned things. Education was so important to both of my parents.

I mean, I didn't ever watch 'Gilligan's Island' and think, 'Those people are actors.' I lived in West Virginia. Hollywood just felt like this total other universe.

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 mean, the men in Hollywood event is every day - it's called Hollywood.

I love being physical and acting at the same time.

I do think about aging. I have those moments of panic and vanity, but life keeps getting better, so you can't worry about it too much.
