In 2005, I had the great honor of playing Shailene Woodley's mother in 'Felicity: An American Girl Adventure.' I was immediately impressed by her work ethic, both on and off set.
In any film, there are 10 male roles for 1 female role, especially in the action films. They're heavy with the guys.
The important thing is that when you correct your children, they see what they've done wrong and why you're upset.
The trophy wife must be in her 20s to earn the title 'trophy wife.'
In Hollywood, a lot of acting feels like grandstanding.
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.
