I am committed to ovarian cancer research on a national level and in my community in the Carolinas. It is important to me to know the women that are true fighters of this difficult disease.
I still love finding the soul of the characters I play and defining who they are. This to me is my paint set, and the colors are always exciting to choose.
My girls have been a great support to me. I come to them when I need to make a decision; they love to watch me work.
I'm not a huge TV person. I don't like having the noise when I'm doing other things unless I'm really lonely, and then I turn the TV on. But I do like to sit down and watch TV in the evenings.
Here's the thing with the business, is that when people like your work, and you make them money, you're set. When the critics like you, and you make the studios money, doors opened.
There's a picture of this woman who's got every different color hair. I thought that would be really interesting to pick up my kids looking like that.
How do I think the industry's changed? Films have changed a lot. I think women are finally able to get older and be sexy just like men. So I'm really enjoying that part - that's my evolution.
North Carolina has been so great because nobody asks me about work.
Pregnancy changed my body; it changed the way I walk.
There's a deep piece of me that wants to be very personal and not share everything with everybody and not put it out there.
I want to be able to speak every language. If I could have any talent and I get to choose it, and be naturally gifted and speak every language. It's not going to happen, but it sure would be nice. It's a good wish.
I never 'shunned' L.A., like people say. And I do think you can raise children well there, but it's definitely harder.
I will do simple cleanses and have a day where I'm quiet and don't talk. I need to have this experience, especially after work has been really intense.
I willingly devoted myself to my children and to my husband. I come from a broken home, and I decided a long time ago that I would put my family ahead of everything.
