It never occurs to me that I'd be intimidating to anybody. Maybe I should consider that...
People who are rude to waiters... I don't like that sort of thing. People who take cuts in line... it doesn't fly!
I would speak up if I see someone being rude to someone.
Rudeness is what gets to me. Yeah. That one does get to me, I have to say.
Most people in the world have seen more of me on-screen than my kids have.
One thing that's great about having kids, especially given my career, is that it forces you out of your narcissism. I mean, I'm in a career where my product is me. So it was nice to have something, someone, come along and take the focus off me. I really needed to give myself some distractions from myself.
It's fun to explore areas that are taboo that you're not allowed to in real life as an actor.
I do sometimes feel like the paparazzi are really what ran me out of L.A. They're just giving everyone a bad name.
I don't think it's easy for women to watch themselves age. And I think it's obviously doubly hard to grow older when you are a public figure and you constantly have to see your image all the time, and people are constantly pointing it out.
Honestly, depending on what stage I'm at in my life, my opinion on plastic surgery changes. I've never been against plastic surgery - I'm against bad plastic surgery. I'm against the overuse of plastic surgery.
When I go to work and when I'm in the public eye, I take much better care of myself. Because when I'm not working, I do indulge more.
One of the things I love most about acting is just disappearing in the role, as much as I can. I think that's one of the things that intrigued me about it.
My favorite food in the world is Mexican food. I'm not a dessert person. I'm more of a crunchy, salty girl. I could live on chips and salsa. I would take a Mexican meal over some fancy French cuisine anytime.
I've always had a very extreme personality, which gets me into major trouble, I'm always all or nothing, and I don't know the world "balance." I'm desperately trying to learn it because I think as you get older it becomes very important.
