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.
You can’t pursue something and be committed to it if you’re apologizing for it at every party.
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.
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.
