I'm just an ordinary person who has an extraordinary job.

When I was a child I had a crush on Abraham Lincoln. Why I would choose to reveal this, I know not.

I'm a really trusting person and I always have been. I just think I've cultivated a very keen skill of recognising someone I shouldn't trust, pretty readily. A person has about 15 to 27 seconds before I'm pretty sure whether or not I can trust them or not.

Los Angeles is such a town of show business, and I'm a terrible celebrity. I find it difficult - it's the beast that must be fed. There's this big wheel of pictures and articles that goes around, and you get pinned on it.

I am very fulfilled in my home life, and what films do for me is to create an ironclad structure that, in my life as a mom, does not exist. It is a shapeless blob of happy chaos.

Because of being married, I've met people and experienced all these little things that have nurtured my life - not so much changed it, just nurtured it in a way that's astounding.

My real hair color is kind of a dark blonde. Now I just have mood hair.
