It grosses me out. It's too sweet to read about or dissect or talk about.
I want to be funny. I want to be like a huge fat old man and stuff like that, ... Now is the time to do stuff that's fun.
I don't have this fantasy about marriage anymore. Everyone says it takes hard work. Well, it kind of does -- and I'm much more pragmatic about romance than I used to be. [With Scott] I wanted to see him as a white knight and was crushed whenever anything normal happened. I wanted to be the princess. Now I'm much more willing to see myself as human and flawed, and accept someone -- the whole picture. My life is definitely changing for the better. I couldn't be happier or feel more comfortable with the direction it's going in.
Growing up where I did, the thought of working on a television show or in a movie... that existed on a parallel plane, you know?
I'm still conflict-averse. I don't like to argue.
The outside world can be very tough.
The rule with marriage is the less you talk about it the better, as far as I can tell.
I've found out that I cannot pass up pizza without having some. I just can't! my kids have a lot of pizza. I can't go to a kid's birthday party without having a slice.
I mean, any time an actress gets to work with another actress, it's like, 'Oh, there are two of us in a movie! How are you? Let's sit in the hair chair together!' We're lonely women.
I wasn't a woman who stayed tiny like I thought I would. I definitely gave myself the freedom to eat what I wanted.
I was a ballet dancer and that kind of bled into musical theater. I was constantly in rehearsal for one thing or another.
I love the feeling of being on a team, rehearsing together, sharing a dressing room - I love that so much.
I love being physical and acting at the same time.
We all have a responsibility to volunteer somewhere and I'm lucky that I get the education and get taken to places to see what's out there and see what's happening and to then be a part of it in hopefully an impactful way.
