James Patterson has a way with female characters. He understands women in a way that a lot of male writers don't.

I never questioned I would have any trouble doing what I wanted to do. I'm not talking about getting to a certain position - or to success. It was just that I knew I wanted to act, and that I would make my living that way. Having the unconditional support of your parents is really freeing.

Everybody has their challenges; I couldnt say that we have more challenges than other people, theyre just different.

I get so much out of being married and raising my kids - that's really important to me.

It's not that I'm necessarily looking for things that are so dark and emotional. But if I see something where the character goes through enormous change, it's very appealing to play all those levels, and that is probably going to involve some dark moments.

I'm not a social retard, but I prefer to go unnoticed.
