I like normal, simple, good people.

Sure, I'm an optimistic, joyous person, but I'm also afraid and insecure.

I spent so many summers and New Years and fun times in New Orleans. It was always a place where I felt I could go and actually let go and enjoy the spirit of something.

I do believe in choice, the freedom of choice and carving out your own happiness.

I don't like guys who will lie down and take it. I want someone who'll fight back. I like people who can argue well.

I had prepared myself for the second half of my life [to be] filled with other passions that don't include being in front of the camera. And then all of a sudden I got more work and more work and more work. And I went, "Well maybe things have shifted." And I think they have.

I realized that being an actor was something I never owned up to, in a weird way. I would be a hostess or a waitress or a house restorer before I would consider myself an actor, because I never thought I was good enough.
