I think it’s a mistake if people just fall in love and think that that’s the only thing you need to keep you happy. There’s a lot more to being with someone than just love.
I like food. I like eating. And I don’t want to deprive myself of good food.
I don’t smoke, don’t drink much, and go to the gym five times a week. I live a healthy lifestyle and feel great. I can run a marathon, you know.
Creativity is one of the most important brain functions in developing youth. It is the ultimate road to invention. I believe it is really important to both nurture and encourage this in children – and adults, too!
You’ll never know what you’re capable of if you don’t try.
Being an actor gives you a chance to play all kinds of roles, very moving and dramatic on one project, silly and girlish on another. That’s the most interesting thing out this business, you get to keep reinventing yourself.
I believe in myself, and I’ve always had people behind me who believed in me. With that, you can do anything.
I also want the chance to work with some of the best actors in the business, because that’s where you can learn so much by just being on a set and getting a feel for how they approach their role and how they work with you.
I love Australia. My dream would be to have a place to live there and be able to commute back and forth.
There’s no such thing as a supermom. We just do the best we can.
I’m fascinated by twins. It’s such an interesting thing. I’m an only child, so I don’t have a sibling. But, if you think about the bond that siblings have, that intensifies so much when you think about being in the womb together.
I don’t want to feel like a failure to my daughter. She’s the best thing I’ve ever done. Buffy – pretty great and all, but Charlotte’s way better.
I would dye my hair every week. I wanted to be a really goth teenager.
The nomadic lifestyle does work for a lot of working parents, but I’ve traveled and I’ve seen it, and I want to be able to go home at night and see my daughter. I want to be there for her first day of school and her school recital. Honestly, television is what offers me that.
Being a teen idol is what I’ve waited for my whole life.
In television, women can really run anything. It can be a comedy, it can be a drama, it can be genre, it can be anything. But in films, women are still getting to the top.
Ultimately, I want to have a good career and do interesting work.
I was very burned out after Buffy. It was exhausting. It took me from essentially 18 on the pilot to being 24 and married when we finished. That show was my life. I was doing movies on the hiatuses and on weekends, but I needed to explore and live that gypsy lifestyle.
