Your happiness is your own responsibility.

My mother and father always supported my passion for acting. I think they just kind of expected me to move to New York and become an actress and have all these adventures.

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.

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.

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.

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

I've made my mind up that I will only do a film that I really, really love. I'm determined to lie low until a role comes along that really makes me want to work.
