Diane Keaton was a big role model for me.
With all that's going on in our lives and the world, reducing stress is important, and it's a factor in heart health.
When you are authentic, you create a certain energy... people want to be around you because you are unique.
I eat an enormous amount of fruits and vegetables.
As an actor, you don't know what is going to come next.
The thing is, we live in a contemporary world, and being able to make yourself the best person you can possible be can be difficult. But as long as you're trying to figure it out, and you're really looking in the right direction, everything's going to be all right.
The problem with my mother is that she didn't go to the doctor. And I think by the time she started to show symptoms that something might not be right, and finally went to the doctor, she was so close to her death that she couldn't get the care she had needed. Her big issue was not going to the doctor.
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.

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.
