character journey important
I was debating whether to do Legally Blonde, and I saw this interview with Gloria Steinem about how important Goldie Hawn's role in Private Benjamin was for women; by the end of the movie, the character socked her fiancé in the face at the altar because he didn't understand who she'd become through her journey. I was like, "I feel like Gloria Steinem told me to do Legally Blonde. That's how Elle Woods is too!"
laughing people important
There's something timeless and important about making people laugh, about being the right spot in their day.
play june religion
To play June, I had an immediate connect with her background and culture. We grew up with the same religion and shared a lot of the same values of family and spirituality. But I was really so inspired by what a modern woman she was.
hate divorce negativity
There are things in my life that are hard to reconcile, like divorce. Sometimes it is very difficult to make sense of how it could possibly happen. Laying blame is so easy. I don't have time for hate or negativity in my life. There's no room for it.
army people courageous
To be courageous , you have to have an army of people holding you.
thinking parent stressed
I don't think I realised how stressed I was, being a single parent. It was really, really stressful. It's not easy on anybody.
kids play kitchen
I read while the kids play. I can see them from the kitchen window. And I'm a fast reader.
june trying sound
I started working on trying to sound like June from the very beginning.
mother husband scary
My husband is my biggest supporter on earth. He encourages me to put myself out in the world in ways that feel scary, and he's like, "I'm always gonna catch you. I'm always gonna be there for you." My supportive mother and family. Honey, it's such a village.
opinion
I'm just chatty. But I do express my opinion.
fun thinking boys
It's fun chasing boys, especially when you're young, but I think it takes time and life experience to notice the other boys.
love musical film
That said, I'd love to do a musical, either in film or on stage.
mom kids healing
My kids make me laugh every day. And they're so supportive. As I get older, they understand those things I worried about - the guilt of being gone - in a way that's so healing for me, when they say, "Mom, we know you love what you do. We love to watch you do what you do."
