I’ve been careful to keep my life separate because it’s important to me to have privacy and for my life not to be a marketing device for a movie or a TV show. I’m worth more than that.
You can’t pursue something and be committed to it if you’re apologizing for it at every party.
I do like reality shows, and I watch some of them because they’re high drama. It’s also just fun to watch people have honest reactions.
I just want to start writing, whether or not any of it is useable or marketable.
At 45, you know what you’re doing, but you’re still not done.
I wanted to be the kind of woman who would attract a certain kind of man that I could respect. That was my thinking. It had to do with the kind of couple I would be a part of.
Since I had the baby I can’t tolerate anything violent or sad, I saw the Matrix and I had my eyes closed through a lot of it, though I didn’t need to. I would peek, and then think, oh OK, I can see that.
One thing I really want to explore is writing.
One fantasy is that I just do a Don Roos movie every year if that’s possible. If he’d have me.
I knew an actor’s career goes up and down and back up again. Your standing in this business can’t be your whole identity; otherwise, you’re doomed.
I have no affectation when I speak.
To be able to let you know who someone is in just a couple of words, I’d have to pick the most pronounced features of a character’s personality. And I always feel like I’m leaving out so many important little ones.
We wanted to do a woman on a reality show because that’s what’s happening right now-it’s part of our culture.
I actually made an effort to reject acting, to shove it out of my body, because I didn’t want my kids to have an actress as a mother-to have, like, a silly person.
I have trouble describing characters because there is just too much going on in human beings.
Is it me? Is it like I have a beacon that only dogs and men with severe emotional problems can hear?
I don’t think that I ever thought of myself as a nerd.
You can’t help but just be aware that things might not always be as good as they are, because people’s feelings about others can turn on a dime.
I like when there are complicated relationships, that there’s a little bit of self-serving parts of it as well as a devotion to a person, and that there’s a mixture of both in there. It’s just I think that’s a little more true to life. It’s not always purely one way or the other.
I’ve learned you can make a mistake and the world doesn’t end.
