I was actually a pretty good student. My problem was that I didn't know what I wanted to study.

Growing up poor, I never missed out on anything. My parents did a beautiful job of not making me feel like I was lesser than any other kids.

"Well, we knew it. Women can't sell movies". That's what it used to be like. "Well, this movie did well, but it's a fluke."

My parents’ biggest thing was that they just wanted me to graduate high school and go to college. They couldn’t fathom me acting for the rest of my life.

I actually live a very mediocre lifestyle. So I decided to step back and do things not just for the sake of doing them, but because I believe in them and I want to do them.

Another important thing to learn is that kids have a personality that has nothing to do with you.

I honestly think being single's great. Being in a relationship's great. It's all about the timing.
