I always thought my mother was so damn cute!

When you're nursing and you're working 18-hour days, that's pretty hard

I think that, like anything, people take their image and what they want somebody else to be and then people just run with it. And when you really know the person and really love the person, you recognize that that person is nothing like that.

I have always been fiery; I go after things. But what I learned from my mother is to step back and actually experience things that are happening. So for me, it's about meditating. My Everest is to have that become a real part of my life.

I did not like leaving them when they were little or big. You have to have priorities regarding what you will allow to take you away from your kid.

If it's a big hit, fantastic. If it's not, then it's not. I don't worry about my work

I have never done a thriller, and it will just be really fun for me to heave and pant and run and climb and break windows and scream every once in a while
