I think that baseball games are like soap operas. If you watch five in a row, you know enough to get hooked.
I do think about aging. I have those moments of panic and vanity, but life keeps getting better, so you can't worry about it too much.
I don't know anyone who was never a geek, really, when they look at their own lives. I think that from the outside looking in, you think that you weren't necessarily a tragic geek, but yes, you did lean in that direction.
I mean, I didn't ever watch 'Gilligan's Island' and think, 'Those people are actors.' I lived in West Virginia. Hollywood just felt like this total other universe.
I don't think that because you are a perfectionist that that makes you necessarily automatically unlikable.
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.
You can choose to be civil or not be civil. What is the point of going through the day and think it's cool to wear your honesty on your sleeve at the expense of everyone around you?
I think all of us have our inner 13-year-old a lot closer to the surface than we're willing to admit even to ourselves.
I am a bit of a goody-goody. Not that there aren't times when I think, I was kind of an (ass) today. I work in a world in which people are really catered to; someone will come up to me and say, "Is it OK if this person's makeup is done before yours for the premiere?"
I will tell you what I can't abide - and I think the Internet has really created a space for it - women criticizing other women and mothers criticizing other mothers.
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.
