I suppose there are a lot of reasons to be jaded or sarcastic or bitter in life, but I hang on to the reasons why life is beautiful.

I'm an actress. I'm not putting my life on the line for any great cause. I don't step out too boldly about anything except my children and family.

I try to do different roles and try to immerse myself deeply and see what they need to be that's different than the last one.

I love feeling like I have purpose and maybe that's the purpose I'm giving myself.

If you have kids, in my opinion, your priorities better shift to them.

Our natural thing to do when we break away from our parents and our family is to decide in how many ways they were wrong and bad, and the older you get you start to realize, "By 'bad' I mean 'different'" and then you get a little bit older and you think, "And by 'different' I mean 'pretty awesome but just not like me.'"

Sunday's my favorite day - that one matinee in the middle of the day!
