I've just been lucky. I'd like to have more choices, and I'd like to have a leading part.

I can't tell stories to save my life. I like to have fun, and I go out and have a lot of fun. But I'm not really an entertainer that way. I'm much more shy.

I'm not that big a fan of marriage as an institution, and I don't know why women need to have children to be seen as complete human beings.

Not to get overly psychological about this, but it's probably why I became an actress in the first place: for that kind of freedom and refuge, as well as for the fact that I just love acting so much.

I was exposed to the arts, but there was no one in my family who was an artist.

I really don't like when things are all polished and perfect - the perfect love story and the hair is perfect.

I see my parents a lot more often, but what I liked about the challenge of my part was I got to have those little kid feelings of being the daughter, and then switching and being a Mom.
