I admire actresses who are good to women. I don't like the ones who just don't like women. You can feel it. They're degrading themselves.

I think most of us are raised with preconceived notions of the choices we're supposed to make.

Half of my family has a deep-rooted connection to the South and Louisiana, and for me, New Orleans is one of our most precious, historic communities: visually, emotionally, artistically.

I think Benjamin Bratt is the most dreamy... he's dreamy! And I love the fact that he's got this Peruvian heritage; he's absolutely striking.

Competing with other women wastes a lot of time, and I'm just not very good at it.

I grew up in a way where I didn't realize there were limitations.I always thought I could speak my mind.

Every single second of every single day... I don't know if I feel like a bad mom, but at the end of the day I'm always plagued with, 'Did I do enough? Should I go in a different direction?'
