I'm always amazed at how consistent people find me and my behavior, when in fact I do feel different all the time.

I don't know if it's naivete or just narcissism, but I start out with this notion that I can do anything. It's not until I get into it that I realize what I've thrown myself into, and then I will do anything not to humiliate myself. And that, I think, is the secret to my success.

I relax by taking my bicycle apart and putting it back together again.

I think all actors have a sadomasochistic streak, because acting is kind of brutal, you know.

I never wanted to have to take a job because I didn't have any money.

I was kind of surprised to learn how controlling I am. I never thought of myself in that way. I think the root of the control issues is usually fear, because you want to know what's going to be happening at any given moment.

I've never met a person who has more integrity than my husband. I respect that. There's his humor and intelligence, too, and he's really cute, all those things - but if you don't respect your partner, you'll get sick of him.
