I love cartoons and childlike things, and this was my favorite. You can't escape it. It has always been on television, at least for my life. If someone would have told me when I was a kid I would be playing Velma in a Hollywood movie, I'd have said they were crazy.
I know, I know. It gets blonder and blonder. It's a sick addiction at this point.
I had the desire to go to Los Angeles, and it's paid off for me. I can't complain.
I think it's going to get back to Sam struggling to raise a child and making ends meet at the same time.
I just got back from Switzerland, which I've never been to. I went to Switzerland and Amsterdam.
I have sort of the career where, if you are a fan, you've been following me for a while, and you really like something that I've done, so meeting those people is always a really gracious experience.
One of my favorite things to do is not to speak on screen. In theater it's different because there's a lot of emphasis on language - it's a different medium. But that is one of the most wonderful things about film. A person's face can say so much more than their voice can.
I think I'm going to spend some time learning how to be a first-time mom, and then I'll go back to work.
I was extremely close with my parents. Breaking away from that is a double-edged sword: It's something you need to do, but it's hard to cut the apron strings.
