My mum, a strange creature from the time when pickles on toothpicks were still the height of sophistication.

Deep down, I'm a Texas girl looking for that big romance every girl dreams about. Biologically, I look forward to being a cornerstone of a family. I'll be in my glory when I have a child on my knee.

I still feel like Ive crashed the party.

Being horrible in a big film is a quicker nosedive than doing an obscure film and making no money.

In a partner I'm looking for an encyclopedia and a dictionary. A bit of the Boy Scouts Handbook. A person who is conscientious about the trail he leaves behind him. Love. Unconditional kindness. Basically, I'm looking for the qualities I revere in my friends.

I'm taking time to figure out where I want to go and what I want to do next. In this line of work, you become so defined by your job.

I believe in love, but I don't sit around waiting for it. I buy houses.
