When I'm doing a movie, that's when I relax. As stressful as it can be, as much pressure as it should be, making movies is still the place where I feel the most at ease and I truly enjoy it. That's why I make so many.

I'm a country girl. I have to be in nature, so my daughter is exposed to it a lot.

I'll tell you, there is nothing better in life than being a late bloomer. I believe that success can happen at any time and at any age.

Life is about creating new opportunities, not waiting for them to come to you.

Life is tough; and if you have the ability to laugh at it, you have the ability to enjoy it.

Try to figure out who you really are and not who you want other people to think you are.

I have a farm and I love it there. There's really nothing to do, but even watching the chickens, its fun.
