Even from a very early age, I knew I didn't want to miss out on anything life had to offer just because it might be considered dangerous.

At this time in my life, I want to be giving to my relationships. And out of that, whatever work you do prospers because you have more to give. There's something very primal about giving birth. It puts you in a state of being very raw.

They've said I'm gay, they've said everyone is gay. I personally don't believe in doing huge lawsuits about that stuff. Tom does. That's what he wants to do, that's what he's going to do. You do not tell Tom what to do. He is a force to be reckoned with.

Dealing with these emotions as an actress is like being a boxer put into the ring.

I'm not sure what the future holds but I do know that I'm going to be positive and not wake up feeling desperate. As my dad said 'Nic, it is what it is, it's not what it should have been, not what it could have been, it is what it is.'

Probably the biggest compliment someone can give you is, "Gosh, you look great. You don't look tired."

My life collapsed. People ran from me because suddenly it was, "Oh my God! It's over for her now!"
