You never accomplish everything you want to accomplish.
D.C. is more corrupt than Hollywood. It really is.
As an actor, I had noticed very vividly that very few directors know how to direct actors because they haven't done it.
I just pray I can keep working. I just pray I grow old gracefully.
I really wanted to be a mom. I didn't want my kids to be raised by a nanny, which would have been the case if I were working two movies in a year, you know? And I would have been hospitalized with fatigue.
I remember calling directors numerous times and saying, 'Oh, you should cast so-and-so instead of me. They're much better for the role.'
I'm not a practice religion freak. I didn't grow up in a religious family, but I have a faith.
I'm really trying to be in the now - that's so spiritual and stuff. It's just so much more pleasant and sane.
I'm trying to do the paleo diet. No carbs.
I'm the homemaker, and that's fine with me because I really like that.
I'm not up there with Kate Winslet and Julia Roberts. I don't sell tickets. I've known that for a long time.
If there's nothing for me to do as an actress, then that's frustrating. I'd rather go work at a menial labour job, where I can actually get my hands dirty.
I never used to want rehearsals, because I was like, 'Oh, no. I'm more spontaneous. I'm a natural. I'm a one-take person.' But that was because I didn't have any training. I was going off instinct.
I never went to college. I was pregnant at 23.
