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.

The moment you make someone promise anything is the same moment you ask them to lie to you.

John Hughes had such a huge impact on filmmaking.

Originally I considered myself a singer.

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 think once you sort of cross over and you realize what books can be - and if they mean something to you - there's just no stopping you.

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