False expectations take away joy.

Anyone who has been given the gift of being opposite an actor who gives and gives, it just makes you better.

When I was a struggling actress in New York in my 20s I worked in a burger joint called Diane's Uptown. I actually loved waiting tables. I still keep who I was in my mind and never take anything for granted.

I love raw cookie dough, right out of the tube. The other thing I eat is marshmallow fluff.

False expectations take away joy.

I watched a documentary about Freedom Riders. One young woman told her parents, 'I'm going to leave college to ride and represent the future.' I thought, 'Who would do that now?' Who would do that for my son?"

The acting thing is so beyond my control. Acting isn't mine. You're like a tiny piece in this big, corporate mechanism that needs chemistry and divine intervention.
