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

I knew we were going to marry someday, but I was absolutely surprised when he actually proposed. And surprised he had bought a ring. I ran around the yard screaming.

I love the feeling of being on a team, rehearsing together, sharing a dressing room - I love that so much.

The outside world can be very tough.

I don't have this fantasy about marriage anymore. Everyone says it takes hard work. Well, it kind of does - and I'm much more pragmatic about romance than I used to be.

After the kids are asleep you... well, you know. Whatever it is. You slip away for a night.

I always, always meant to be on stage. I only ended up even auditioning for television and movies because I was understudying a Turgenev play on Broadway and was so broke that, when I got a mini-series, I had to take it and was so ashamed because I was such a snob.
