I'm suspicious of people who talk about their feelings to the whole world

I became obsessed with all these women who die never feeling they did anything extraordinary with their lives.

I think it's not a femme fatale when someone is not doing it to manipulate men or be like a black widow. She loves him. She does it out of love. She wants him so badly to stay with her.

I didn't think marriage worked. I thought everybody who was married was secretly miserable - that it was something they just put up with for their children.

Life, I've got lots of friends. I don't complain.

I love being a wife and homemaker - because it's my choice. My husband doesn't expect me to do it. I don't mind doing things for him because he does so much for me; we both feel that way so there is no power struggle.

There's a lot about the character. It doesn't always happen, but there are some characters you really create a relationship with, almost as if they were your friend. And you never get into their heads again or think like them.
