Being from Orange County is in a lot ways very much like being from the Midwest.

I liked getting up at 4 in the morning, driving on the freeway, and going in and stocking shelves and laughing with the stock clerks.

What's interesting is, there's always a lot of talk to young people about finding their passion, following their passion. But I remember reading somewhere that a lot of people don't have a passion. And there's this pressure to have one. It's perfectly fine not to have one.

I worked so hard for so long - I did a lot of movies. I also worked a lot when my kids were smaller, before they were in school.

I do sometimes feel like the paparazzi are really what ran me out of L.A. They're just giving everyone a bad name.

I've been working since I was 14, and my father, being very conservative, has always been strict about my having a savings account.

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