My golden retriever, Callie, is so easy to please. She finds great pleasure in our day-to-day routine, which helps me to enjoy the simple things. She loves to jump on the couch with her favorite toys and roll around while I clap my hands.

I probably believe in God in a non-denominational way.

I think that when you are famous, it can work against you, people have preconceptions about your image.

I'm having a great career, though I think I'm not as good as your little scenario makes me out to be.

I am definitely not a fashionista, I can't live up to that title, I don't want to. Sometimes I look like a slob, but I wouldn't do a job if I couldn't be involved in the style and wardrobe of my character.

In South Africa one in four women have AIDS. When you are there it is shocking. So many people are dying from the disease and the same number are getting the disease each year. My main goal was to learn and call attention to some of the things that were happening.

It is very hard because there are not a lot of female driven scripts.
