Traits like humility, courage, and empathy are easily overlooked - but it's immensely important to find them in your closest relationships.

People can't really place me. They're not really sure who I am. Sometimes they think I'm Helen Hunt. Sometimes they think I'm Laura Dern.

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 think everybody handles things very differently and you can conjecture, but until you're put in that situation, you really don't know.

Some people's personalities are so compelling that they command attention.

I hope that anyone I worked with wouldn't exploit our relationship.

Where I did feel a difference is learning to just work in a different way so that your resources are not completely depleted so that you don't have anything to give to your child when you go home, and fortunately I've been working long enough that I know how to make that shift so that I don't compromise my work or compromise my relationships; not compromising parenting is really the biggest difference.
