I think everyone's journey through this crazy, weird, wild, wonderful area of work named acting is really their own. And if you're going for something that isn't yours, you're wasting time. You could be focused on your own work instead of thinking about somebody else.

There's a real passing down in the theater, almost ad nauseam. You have to listen to older people talk about their experience, but it makes you very aware of what has come before you or what is coming after you - that you're a part of a link in a chain. It's not all about you.

I find that things don't bother me as much. If I had a bad day on set, it sort of just rolls of my back in a way that it didn't before. So that's where the biggest difference is, stuff that used to get under my skin or that I would worry about or be anxious about just isn't a problem. So in some ways, having a child has been very liberating. I found it very liberating.

Tanning is tricky, because a lot of people just look orange.

Fame didn't happen to me in my 20s, it has been a gradual thing which probably makes it easier to deal with.

I'm always curious, but I'm learning things I never thought I'd learn. I get to travel to places I never thought I'd go.

I don't think you should exploit your own pain.
