I didn't have any confidence in my beauty when I was young. I felt like a character actress, and I still do.

The work itself is the reward, and if I choose challenging work, it'll pay me back with interest. At least I'll be interested, even if nobody else is.

Acting is not about being someone different. It's finding the similarity in what is apparently different, then finding myself in there.

I've been making a lot of pasta. It's easy. There are unusual tastes that you can combine. I cook because my kids like a certain kind of thing and then they want it over and over.

I love acting, of course, but being with my husband and my children always brought me the greatest joy and happiness in life.

I get a trickling few scripts that I'm lucky enough that some of them are great. I don't get loads of scripts.

The greatest gift given to man by God - is the ability to empathize.
