I'm realising now that I can't just blurt things out.

Obviously my career's important to me and I'm really, really passionate about trying to keep it.

Marriage is actually really terrifying. It doesn't work for many people.

I was putting so much time and energy into just my work, but I was raised [to believe] that family comes first.

I always assume I look better than I actually do. I'll feel pretty good about myself when I leave the house, then I'll see a picture and think, 'Crap, I had no idea that's what I was looking like.'

If I spread myself too thin, I'm not a good actor, I'm not a good mother, and I'm just really high-strung - and everybody hates me.

My mother is a realist, and she's had biological and adoptive children, and she said it's no different: No matter what, they're putting a stranger into your arms. You don't know them yet.
