great italian-actress knows
Mel is a great director because he's not just a director, he's an actor, so he knows how to direct actors. I loved working with him. He's great as a director. He's so intelligent. He's generous. I really loved him.
beautiful hates street walking wants
Walking down the street now is even worse. Before, it was just because I was beautiful; now it's because I'm beautiful and famous. Everyone wants you at the same time, everyone hates you at the same time.
again
I wouldn't want to be 20 again for anything.
I come here just when I have to do interviews,
To be a lawyer was too boring for me, for my personality.
character stuff different
I love playing different characters all the time, so I'm concentrating on doing other stuff.
character responsibility light
There's an inherent responsibility actors feel when portraying something that actually exists in the world. It's arguably something that not all actors would agree on because this is a craft, but for me, it's the emotion of what a character is going through that makes the performance what it is. We have a responsibility to bring those emotions to light.
real father heart
The importance of heart health became very real for me when my father died of heart disease seven years ago. Having experienced the loss first hand, I am inspired to do everything I can to break the cycle and prevent families from losing loved ones to this preventable disease.
jobs character best-job
I'm not saying you need to become a spokesperson for every cause your character goes through, but it's important to absolutely do the best job we can in portraying a disease, and all the crap that goes with it.
I am so not technically proficient at all.
cat animal light
There is nothing in the animal world, to my mind, more delightful than grown cats at play. They are so swift and light and graceful, so subtle and designing, and yet so richly comic.
beyond gone known people possible regular turned
I had no idea what we would get. We should have known from being regular watchers of the show, but it turned out better than it ever could have been. And it's gone way beyond just the house. All the people that have made this possible for us.
came cleveland early fit four god left moved
I left L.A. and moved to Cleveland for four years in the early 2000s or whatever. I came back and thought that everything had changed. I was like, 'Oh my God, I don't think I ever fit in here. And wait, who are all of these celebrities that are not actors? Where did all of the actors go?'
children priorities parent
My first priority is my children. If at any moment I put aside something that I want to do to be a better parent than that is more than okay for me.
