People have such false perceptions of how stardom really works.
I examine other people's characteristics, so when I'm playing characters, I don't always have to make them me; I can transform into others.
The only thing that seemed to me I could do in such a way that no one else could was acting. I thought, I can be a doctor, but there's going to be someone else who is just as good or better. I can be a lawyer, which I still sometimes think I would love to be, but I think there's someone who can do it just as good or better.
I think families should vacation together, and cruising is a wonderful option.
The trophy wife must be in her 20s to earn the title 'trophy wife.'
All those days of waiting on tables until I could get a role on Broadway, all that time going to school taking lessons, and all those years of being a nobody following a dream-and now here it is.
In theater, you have a rehearsal period and you know just who to be.
I'm just a pack mule. I've played leads and I've played character roles. Any actress in Hollywood will tell you as your age climbs, the leads thin.
If you are not in the red playroom of pain and pleasure, … shooting the movie is much like doing any other movie.
Having a dad in the service was helpful. I was forever meeting new kids, going to new schools, moving to new neighborhoods. I was encouraged when I attended the American School in Germany.
In the theater, it's about taking time in a musical segment, a pause in a musical way and then moving on.
In my kids school, the married family is an anomaly which I do think is sad. I do believe in marriage.
It's hard to balance work and family.
Its important that kids learn, but I really dont like all the testing, testing, testing.
