I'm simply the mom who makes the lunch, drives to school, finds where the toys are, washes the clothes, and I'm here to play. And that's all I should be.

I don't need any more stories. I have enough stories. I need a life.

I don't want to be seen as the kind of person who does things and then expects publicity in return.

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.

Everyone told me to pass on Speed because it was a 'bus movie.'

I think everything is going to be devastatingly sad - when the phone rings, I know somebody in my family's been hurt, somebody's going to die. I'm sure a therapist would go, 'That's not a good way to live,' but every time it's not that bad thing, I'm so thankful and appreciative.

Being in front of a camera, in a nice dress, getting all dressed up is extreme. There's a lot of other extreme situations, you know, just getting out of bed sometimes is extreme - but I do it. Just got to do it, just got to get up. Put your sweatpants on, brush off the dog hair and just get out of the house!
