There were many times when I had to emotionally come to terms with the fact that maybe I wasn't ever going to get married. And I started getting comfortable with that.

I think it's nice for women to try to be sexy for their man.

When I feel stressed, I turn to food for comfort, but I don't like to diet and I'm not good at it.

When I first came to Hollywood I was told to go out with an agent because it was good for my career. So I went to a party with him because it was good for my 'career.' Well, he thought the whole thing was a big date. Needless to say, I was very upset.

The truth is, I just don't have the drive to be the prettiest and the thinnest. I can be happy for other people for their beauty.

My new movie, Fools Rush In, is a romantic comedy and the girl I play in that is very warm, very sweet.

Art and activism seem to go together naturally, the idea being that if you're an entertainer, you can have a voice, and if you have a voice, you can make a difference. But if I were not an actress, I would still try to extend myself beyond my little micro-universe of my job, family and personal joy.
