Sometimes I get intimidated by people, intellectuals, because I don't have a great education. The only thing I feel helps me compete with all these people, people with degrees from Harvard, that you're thrown in with and have to work with, is that I'm grounded.
One of the reasons I didn't really want to do TV earlier in my career was because it is so life-consuming, and I wanted to spend time with my kids and be a mother.
Oh, all southern women say they're sorry. You could do almost anything, bump into some one, don't spread the jam right, you're always sorry. I've had people tell me to stop saying it so much!
My high school experience was kind of like 'Mean Girls.' It was very much like a bad B movie. 'This is where the jocks sit, and this is where the cheerleaders sit.' And I never really fit in. I guess I was sort of a theatre geek, but the activity that I was most invested in was speech and debate.
It's interesting now; with social media, you are actually interacting with fans.
It's difficult sometimes to become friends with actors.
It kind of cracks me up when people say I'm hot because I just think that that's a term that I don't have to deal with anymore.
I've had some really big hits with 'Groundhog Day' and 'Michael,' 'Multiplicity,' 'Four Weddings and a Funeral.'
I've had a great experience in the fashion business.
I'm just human, and I have great relationships with the people that work for me.
I'm an artist, but, as I get older, I really want to do philanthropic work and help people.
I'm always reading several books at the same time, depending on how deeply engrossed in it I am, if it's fiction and if it captures me.
I wouldn't wear really short dresses anymore - just don't feel comfortable in them.
I wish there was a news channel that really told you what was going on in the world, not just sensationalized news.
