I'm an actress and mom, and I probably don't have enough of an active spiritual life. And I don't know why people run around calling themselves by the names of religions when they don't actually practise them.

But I think it is always difficult to have high expectations of yourself or anyone else.

I used to be more paranoid and stressed, constantly worrying about my Plan B. But the truth is I don't have one.

It's hard sometimes if you think a character should look a certain way and you're being pushed to do it differently. I've had fights over that. That's why it's so important that you work with good people.

There are so many ebbs and flows in life, but when you're raising small children, your family means everything.

Boredom is a great motivator.

Desperation is the perfume of the young actor. It's so satisfying to have gotten rid of it. If you keep smelling it, it can drive you crazy. In this business a lot of people go nuts, go eccentric, even end up dead from it. Not my plan.
