I’m at peace with myself and where I am. In the past, I was always looking to see how everybody else was doing. I wasn’t competitive, I was comparative. I just wanted to be where everybody else was. Now I’ve gotten to an age when I am not comparing anymore.
There’s no doubt that motherhood is the best thing in my life. It’s all that really matters.
When David Arquette and I got engaged we started therapy together. I’d heard that the first year of marriage is the hardest, so we decided to work through all that stuff early.
It seems like everything is so polarized. You get the caricatures of people, the caricatures of their beliefs. “I hate this kind of person” or “I love this kind of person.” But actually, there’s a lot of great things about them. There are things to like. There’s possibility of change.
What makes things exciting in life is to overcome your challenges and get creative and think outside of the box.
I only have to do three things to look halfway decent. Curl my eyelashes, fill in my eyebrows and put some lipstick on.
Everyone has problems. When you think you want to end your life, maybe you could be there for someone else and can learn something.
I’m a real people person and I’m very sensitive, and I’ve just noticed how other actors that I’ve worked with, as an actor, take direction from people.
A lot of times people say, ‘As soon as you relax you’ll have a kid.’
I love working with actors, and it’s great that I’m an actor myself. I know how I like to be directed and how I like to be talked to.
You never have to guess where you stand with me.
When I was a kid I didn’t feel like I fit in because – this is really silly and I probably shouldn’t say it, but, I didn’t think anything was funny. So I used to go home and literally cry to my mom and my step-dad at the time and I didn’t think anything was funny. I couldn’t laugh.
I’m not a long movie person. I have a very short attention span. If you give me a 90-minute movie, that’s perfect. When it gets to be two hours, that’s a little bit too long for me.
I have a terrible attention span, so if something can keep my attention, I know that that’s at least a great start.
It’s not like I let people do things for me, so I guess you can call me a control freak, or you can call me passionate.
I’m not a passive person by any stretch of the imagination.
I would probably say I identified more with drama. I’m a really emotional, sensitive person. I’m family-minded and I’m the youngest of four kids. I have nine stepbrothers and sisters. And I love drama. I really do.
