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.

It never occurs to me that I'd be intimidating to anybody. Maybe I should consider that.

One of the things I love most about acting is just disappearing in the role, as much as I can. I think that's one of the things that intrigued me about it.

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.

Acting is kind of brutal.

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 said, going into acting, 'I'm never moving to L.A.,' because it scared me. But there was no way you could build an acting career in Orange County.
