I grew up in the suburbs.

In real life, I don't fall in love with the guy who wines and dines me, I fall in love with the flaws and the humanity.

I don't want to put a pause on the rest of my life; I'm really enjoying getting older and the wisdom that comes from that.

I like exploring both the light parts and the dark parts of a single person. And all of those shades tend to come out most acutely in stories about families.

I kind of moved out of the town I grew up in as quick as I could. I left right after high school.

I'm always studying something or trying to learn something, keep myself creatively occupied, because I think that energy can get kind of destructive if it doesn't have somewhere to go.

We have our whole lives to try and get a glimpse of what that could be, in our own life. It's so exciting.

And I think a lot of us have fantasies of going back to where we're from, or when we do go back we're so nostalgic about it.

I read something about, "Why do actresses get plastic surgery," we like to look at pretty people, but I don't. I like to look at all faces, young, old.

Actors are always weird about acting with their spouse or their boyfriend or girlfriend, but more because they think audiences will find it boring.

For me, there are a lot of things you can imagine as an actor, and then there are things that you know in your bones and in your cells once they happen to you.

Self-esteem is a barometer of your overall internal makeup.

Just because you're done with the past doesn't mean the past is done with you.

You are organic, aren't you? Or am I talking to a statue again?

I never cultivated a personality. Almost everyone who is really famous has cultivated a personality.

When cornered, a rattle snake can become so angry it's been known to bite itself, which is exactly how I feel in traffic and relationships.

Her smile is like summer moonlight-beautiful and magical, with a fire that could melt the night.

But I couldn't ever make that dream happen. It just came on its own, the way dreams do.

Family: A social unit where the father is concerned with parking space, the children with outer space, and the mother with closet space.

I worked for everything that I got and I worked long and hard before I got to this point so when I got it I thought I deserve it.

We have to keep the body in good health; we have to take care of what we eat and drink, and what we do.
