I always say, when I work with younger actresses, "I'm here." Reese says it, too: "We've lived it. We know things. So if there's anything you want to know." I'm careful not to be the preacher, like, "Now, listen to me!" But I do want to be available. Even in terms of things like finances - where do you learn that, if you don't have people you can ask, "Hey, can I ask you a question?"

Part of the reason of being an actor is you like playing other people's lives and exploring all the psychologies in that and the emotions.

I think it's important for me as an actor that I say these are the issues I'm going to be committed to. One of them for me is women and children's health around the world and their rights;the other is ovarian cancer.

I'm trying to find a man to share my life with, but it's not been easy. I'm a 35-year-old woman with two small children.

I love acting, but it's much more fun taking the kids to the zoo.

Every day there is a compromise. Living with somebody requires a lot of understanding. But I love being married. I really love it.

It's very, very rare to find five roles in one piece where we'd all jump at the chance to play any of them.
