Growing up where I did, the thought of working on a television show or in a movie... that existed on a parallel plane, you know?

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.

Your happiness is your own responsibility.

I am not pregnant, but I've had three kids, and there is a 'bump.' From now on, ladies, I will have a 'bump' and it will be my 'baby bump,' and let's just all settle in and get used to it. It's not going anywhere.

To become a classical ballerina, you have to move to New York when you're 12 or 11 and that becomes your life. I just wanted to be good in my company in Charleston and I wanted it to always be part of my life.

I don't want a gang of shouting, arguing, law-breaking photographers to camp out everywhere we are, all day every day, to continue traumatizing my kids.

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