With being a mother, I feel like you choose how you spend your time so much more carefully - which is a good thing.

I think what I've learned most from being an actress is that there's no method. That you have to invent this process over and over and over again, depending on who you're working with and what you're doing.

I'm a control freak and I like to be overprepared, and I'm overly organized and I'm not in the moment a lot of the time.

Acting is something that I've done since I was so young. I always felt - certainly as a teenager - really cynical about acting. I definitely didn't feel like it was something I wanted to do, and so I really took it for granted.

Lately I did a film called All I Want for Christmas and it was well received. This gave me a new point of view and a new respect for my work as an actress.

I think that we need to get along together if we want to survive in the twenty-first century.

It's amazing how the world does actually go on in the middle of things that should stop it for us.
