I haven't seen most of what I've done. I can't even list them. Most television jobs. I haven't seen a lot.

When you pray, God puts people in your life to lead you when you cannot lead yourself.

I'm sorry, if you've been married for five minutes, you've sacrificed something, you've looked over at your partner and have gone, "Oh my God this is the biggest mistake I've ever made in my life." And then the next moment it's "This is the most beautiful and extraordinary human being, and I'm going to stick with it because I love them more than anyone else." That monologue to me is the universal thing, especially for women because I feel like that's the big thing with women.

I just look at women sometimes and I just want to ask them, "Do you know how fabulous you are?"

I can't deal with actors! I can't deal with myself. We're neurotic and miserable... I love doing what I'm doing, but while I'm doing it, I'm miserable.

Creativity only resonates if you infuse real life into the work.
