You can have a perfectly horrible day where you doubt your talent... Or that you're boring and they're going to find out that you don't know what you're doing.

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

I would say, don't smoke. I'm kidding, but yeah, I did smoke in college and as a young actor and it's stupid.

I didn't go to Catholic school but I had a tough teacher, a tough math teacher.I remember everything that guy taught me. I really do.

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

I'm curious about other people. That's the essence of my acting. I'm interested in what it would be like to be you.

I've thought a lot about the power of empathy. In my work, it's the current that connects me and my actual pulse to a fictional character in a made up story, it allows me to feel, pretend feelings and sorrows and imagined pain.
