It's a whole other way of working when you work in films: You know exactly the arc of your character.

Banana Splits for Breakfast. I think I ate about five.

I was always proud about being from Texas and, you know, maybe that was part of fearlessness. I love the fact that Texas is so big, but you don't feel small because of that.

My parents were devoted. Civic minded. We had family counsels. Three of us children against two of them. We lived a 'Leave It to Beaver' time.

You relate to a character and you find that character within yourself. It's all parts of me. I don't leave characters behind. I just let them go.

I didn't worry about leaving the fast lane - I was just so consumed with my baby that it seemed like the right thing to do. I never felt like I left New York, though. If you've lived in a place and loved it, you never feel like you left it.

You know, your career is just your career; your life is your life!
