My mom is a hard worker. She puts her head down and she gets it done. And she finds a way to have fun. She always says, 'Happiness is your own responsibility.' That's probably what I quote from her and live by the most.

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 mean, any time an actress gets to work with another actress, it’s like, “Oh, there are two of us in a movie! How are you? Let’s sit in the hair chair together!” We’re lonely, women.

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 love being physical and acting at the same time.

I have this internal battle between, I need to work, I need to work, I need to work and I need to be home with my kids. And the kids win.

I'm still conflict-averse. I don't like to argue.
