I don't have this fantasy about marriage anymore. Everyone says it takes hard work. Well, it kind of does -- and I'm much more pragmatic about romance than I used to be. [With Scott] I wanted to see him as a white knight and was crushed whenever anything normal happened. I wanted to be the princess. Now I'm much more willing to see myself as human and flawed, and accept someone -- the whole picture. My life is definitely changing for the better. I couldn't be happier or feel more comfortable with the direction it's going in.
I just try work out at least twice a week if I can.
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.
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 grosses me out. It's too sweet to read about or dissect or talk about.
My sisters both are working mothers. I understand that my being an actress as well as being at home isn't some heroic thing. That doesn't mean it isn't confusing or difficult - especially that question of how you find a balance.
We talked about trying to hide it and I just said that's ridiculous, ... First of all, I think it's a really honest, mature, real storyline for her to play and for me to get to play with her. Also, it would just be ridiculous right now, if not in a couple of months.
We have one or the other for sure.
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.
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!
Garner has made it clear that she probably won't be returning to the show next year for a sixth season.
The outside world can be very tough.
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.
