My mother often says that she could never have done it if I had been the youngest, if she had other small children she had to cart around New York City for my auditions and go-sees (modeling auditions) and stuff.
My mother is a realist, and she's had biological and adoptive children, and she said it's no different: No matter what, they're putting a stranger into your arms. You don't know them yet.
I'm done with the whole idea of having my own children. It doesn't seem like any fun.
I was the youngest child and really spoiled. I loved to play make-believe. I loved pretending to be all kinds of different people and it just seemed natural that I would go into acting.
A lot of children don't find forever homes because they're on that special-needs list, even if it's because of something as simple as her mother smoked cigarettes for a month, not knowing she was pregnant.
I am a better mother for having something in my life and not just my children.
I just ultimately wanted to be a mother. I love children.
I can't cultivate a relationship with my child if it's between takes. I tried that on a movie and realized, 'This is not going to work.' It will work some of the year, but not 12 months a year.
We all wanted to do something great for the crew because we don't really get to hang out outside of work.
If I wasn't in this industry, I wouldn't work out.
I've never really been America's sweetheart, but for a minute I think that's what they wanted me to be.
There will be a love triangle for my character.
I love when people come up to me and tell me that they watch it. And ask like, 'Do you think Ellen and Patrick are going to get back together? I love that because we're working hard and it's great to know that that work is being appreciated.
I think it's better to find somebody who's worse at everything than you. It just makes you constantly feel so good about yourself. And then, you can constantly talk about how good you are at everything, and how terrible they are at everything.
