I'm a sappy mom now. I didn't think I would be. I thought I'd be a cool mom who keeps everything in perspective.

I want my family to resemble the family I came from.

There were so many lean years. A lot of lean years.

Some people think, if you're in the public eye, that you have to have an answer for everything and it has to be boring.

Even if you plan a marriage and a family, you are never quite prepared for the reality versus how you imagined it. In a lot of ways it's better, and in a lot of ways it's worse. That's life, right?

There are still men who come up to me today and say, 'You were really hot in that film!' I was 14, for God's sake!

I think a lot of women innately know how to play their hand. I'm not a big one for the rules.
