I've done kissing scenes with people who have been loaded. I'd think, 'Do you actually have to drink that Jack Daniels to kiss me?'

I can't' really sing a song unless I really connect with the lyrics.

I don't have control over how people choose to perceive me. The only thing I have control over is my writing.

Automatically everybody thinks of me as an actress who is trying to sing. And if I weren't me I'd probably think the same thing.

Yes, my kids come first, but as a parent I need to come to them with a fresh mind. I can't be too exhausted or too tired. And I am a better parent when I have more energy.

I can't believe I gave my panties to a geek.

I've always been the bookish type, and I've never really hidden that about myself.
