Every single decision I make about what material I do, what I’m putting out in the world, is because of my children.
For me, clothes are kind of a character. They’re more interesting in those terms.
Singing and acting are very similar. Singing makes you reach into your deepest feelings. Singing is an extension of everything that you do when you’re acting.
I have a lot of people to thank and I’m going to be one of those people that tries to mention a lot of names, because I know just two seconds ago my mother and father went completely berserk and I’d like to give some other mothers and fathers that same opportunity.

Having been let out of the barn once, I know I wouldn’t be happy if I were home all the time.
The work is the most fun; it seems illicit how much fun it is.

I never give any character I play less respect than I give my own life.

Listening is everything. Listening is the whole deal. That’s what I think. And I mean that in terms of before you work, after you work, in between work, with your children, with your husband, with your friends, with your mother, with your father. It’s everything. And it’s where you learn everything.
I can become you for a second and you can become me and this lifts us up.
