When it comes to accepting emotional support or affection, I'm a little guarded and hardened to that.

And I think I have a perspective about Hollywood that you don't see very often in the press.

I felt totally released from the need to make it as an actress. I had experienced complete fulfillment in something that had nothing to do with me being in the spotlight.

I don't remember my mother ever playing with me. And she was a perfectly good mother. But she had to do the laundry and clean the house and do the grocery shopping.

Anytime anybody is rude, it makes me double-check my own behavior to make sure I don't do that to other people.

I have to keep reminding myself: If you give your life to God, he doesn't promise you happiness and that everything will go well. But he does promise you peace. You can have peace and joy, even in bad circumstances.

And I started as a journalism major at Ohio State, ended up in theater and I love to read.
