I was never the 'babe,' so I knew I'd never get those big roles. I'd always be the best friend or the quirky sidekick.

You're curious about someone, or why they're doing what they're doing. Because everyone who gets to work in this field is so lucky, and it's such a rarified world, I understand that. At the end of the day, I'm interested in demystifying it.

I think acting has helped me come out of my shell because when I play a character, I can't be self-conscious.

Because I don't think it's very healthy to hold people to idealized views. I think that's a certain stage in life, something kids do. You have to go through that idealistic phase with your parents, but at a certain point, you need to see people as just people.

We need comedies in the world! We need to laugh, it's all so hard.

It was fun; you know, at this point in my life it's like, I want to do stuff that's meaningful.

I'm interested in acting roles that I want to do, that are meaningful to me in some way. I think, because my kids are still pretty young, if something is meaningful and it's a good little part that I could do or feel that I can have fun with, then I'm interested in it. I'd like to be able to do a TV show or something and really have a voice in it.
