I'm trying to make it cool to be a good girl.

That said, I'd love to do a musical, either in film or on stage.

If something seems frightening or horrible, I should probably do it.

I like my body so much better after I had kids. Is that a crazy thing to say? I'm more womanly. I feel sexier.

Well I always wanted to be Dolly Parton when I was a little girl. I was obsessed with her.

Women are wives and mothers and girlfriends, but not the center of our own stories. No one's the good guy; no one's the bad guy. We all do deplorable things and very honorable things.

I had parents who believed I could do anything - and I know how that made me feel. I think both my parents, having careers in the medical profession, feel they are helping people on a daily basis, and that was inculcated in me as a value. I had to struggle with giving up the idea of becoming a doctor myself.
