I’m just glad I was able to return to some of that innocence and beauty I had as a child when I started my own family, and my children brought me back some of that spirit.
I think it’s easier to play when you do have a balanced home. I think if I did have alcoholism in my personal life, or my mother, or somebody close to me, it might have been much more uncomfortable to get in there.
I want to take time to understand life. I want to travel. I want to be a better person, a better Mom. I want to do something good with my life.
Family is what grounds you.
And I didn’t know what that meant for a long time. It was only when I began to travel and look and live beyond my home that I understand my responsibility to others.
I always hate speculation on the news, so I don’t want to be somebody who speculates.
I think I’ll be working a lot less as I get older.
I think the global community always has a responsibility to any humanitarian crisis. And I think it’s in our best interest to address a humanitarian crisis because displacement can can lead to a lot of instability and aggression.
There doesn’t need to be a God for me.
He’s amazing. He’s a really dedicated father. I feel very blessed that every day I wake up and I live with my favourite people in the world, as well as my best friend.
I’m drawn to kids that are already born. I think some people are meant to do certain things, and I believe I’m meant to find my children in the world somewhere and not necessarily have them genetically.
We did work together surprisingly well, more than I thought we would, because I didn’t know before we met if we would actually work together really well, and we had a great time.
If you don’t get out of the box you’ve been raised in, you won’t understand how much bigger the world is. You might never find out that you are useful for all the right reasons – and not all those stupid things that people tell you you’re useful for.
When I first went to places where people were suffering from war and persecution, I felt ashamed of my feelings of sadness. I could see more possibilities in my life.
I’ve realized that being happy is a choice. You never want to rub anybody the wrong way or not be fun to be around, but you have to be happy. When I get logical and I don’t trust my instincts – Thats when I get in trouble.
If you become aware of a public self, you’re in danger of becoming a very artificial person.
We’re all just big kids. That’s all we are. We are artistes. We grew up wanting to be part of the fantasy of the fairy tales and the stories.
I like to hide behind the characters I play.
Sometimes I think my husband is so amazing that I don’t know why he’s with me. I don’t know whether I’m good enough. But if I make him happy, then I’m everything I want to be.
I’ve realized that being happy is a choice.
