I know I live a charmed, beautiful life and nobody wants to hear a celebrity whine. The last thing I want to do is complain; I love what I do and I know every job comes with a downside.
My mom has always said that the one thing she wishes she had done differently is have a job. She felt like the single-mindedness made her a little nuts sometimes, and she could have used an outlet for herself when we were little.
I think that it's not as crazily different, my job, from anyone else's, as people let themselves believe. I think people get wrapped up in their own idea of what it is, but it's really not that.
I don't understand how women can manage to get back in shape with a new baby and a job.
I want my girls to love math. I want them to think that being a scientist is the coolest possible job on the planet. I want them to not be afraid to lean toward their femininity.
I've often said to J.J. Abrams, the creator of the show, 'I don't know why you cast me in this role. I don't know why you thought I could do it. I know I was good in Dude, Where's My Car?, but seriously...I can't thank you enough!
We have one or the other for sure.
My family is just beyond out-of-control excited.' - Winning the Golden Globe
Let's just say it's not something I use in my everyday bag of tricks.
It's like 'Big' in many ways, but it makes me nervous to say that because Tom Hanks was so brilliant and it's such an incredible, beautiful movie that to compare myself to him is nerve-racking, ... Alias.
It's been obviously exciting and fun, a lot going on.
I want to be funny. I want to be like a huge fat old man and stuff like that, ... Now is the time to do stuff that's fun.
Yeah, I'm willing to do anything, ... This next week, they're hanging me out of a helicopter 200 feet in the air, so 'Thriller' was nothing.
There's an internal battle. I need to work, I need to work, I need to work and I need to be home with my kids and the kids win.
