I'm learning to hunt with rifles, because if you think about it, hunting gets you the healthiest meat - organic, free-range food. It's a totally yuppie spin on what I thought was kind of a redneck occupation.

The rite of passage of learning to build a fire that will burn all night with one match is not an insignificant one in my husband’s family, and I grew up camping and backpacking. I love to camp.

Every working mom I know is constantly walking some kind of a tightrope of guilt.

I watched Ricki Lake's documentary, 'The Business of Being Born,' and that led me to call a midwife, and not an ob-gyn, when I found out I had conceived. My delivery was not easy - they call it 'labor,' not 'a vacation!' - but I was incredibly grateful that I did it that way.

An actor without an audience is rehearsing.

I'm growing as an artist and expanding my range, and not pigeonholing myself by doing the same thing, over and over.

You don't take a job in acting at all expecting 25 years in and a pension.
