It's the relationships between people that are more important than the sort of far away fantasies of what the good life is, the world of supermodels and Bud ads.

Being is like pretending.

I hate it when people use sex as a weapon against the people who are engaging in it. It's so hypocritical.

The name game is frustrating. Agents will say, They love you, but they're going to offer it to Julia Roberts first.

I have learned to pare down what I do and still be effective and strong in a role.

I could have seen myself going into academia, but I don't love it; I just like it.

I have to be able to shake my imaginary life from my real life when I walk through the door with my children who immediately need a lot from me. It's actually kind of a relief, especially if it was a dark day on set.
