I would love to do more movies, but the reality is women have many more opportunities on television to play a greater variety of characters.

I really like putting the kids to bed. Everyone is cozy and snuggly. Nobody is giving anyone a hard time, and everybody reads.

I'm in total celebrity denial in general, but there's awareness that probably if somebody has met you, they might go and tell somebody. I just would rather have the word on the street stay at a neutral, not like, "She shows up in a ball gown," but "She seemed nice." That's fine.

I just can't seem to make myself care about what I look like when I am working out.

I don't always run in the mornings, but I am definitely better if I run in the mornings.

I discovered on school days, when they've got to get up at 6:30, they won't get out of bed. But on the weekends, they were up at 6 a.m. I was like, "Why do you guys wake up so early on the weekends?" It's like, "Because I wake up and I think, Is it a TV day? And if it is..." So we had to change that rule. I'm like, "Thank you for telling me what I need to do."

It's a war of attrition. If you have patience and a modicum of faith in yourself your chances are not too bad.
