Love humiliates you. Hatred cradles you.
Ultimately, I believe the only secret to a happy marriage is choosing the right person. Life is a series of choices, right?
Acting's an odd profession for a young person; it's so extreme. You work, and the conditions are tough and the process is so immersive, and then it stops, and then there's nothing. So you have to find ways of making you feel productive when you're not actually producing anything. For a young person, that's really challenging.
There are certain scenes you do in a movie that are like catching a wave, and you leave work feeling elated - almost as though you've purged something. That's rare, but you do live for those moments.
I look like a duck. It's the way my mouth curls up, or my nose tilts up. I should have played Howard the Duck.
I act for free, but I demand a huge salary as compensation for all the annoyance of being a public personality. In that sense, I earn every dime I make.
I'm afraid to be alone, I'm afraid not to be alone. I'm afraid of what I am, what I'm not, what I might become, what I might never become. I don't want to stay at my job for the rest of my life, but I'm afraid to leave. And I'm just tired, you know? I'm just so tired of being afraid.
Acting is kind of brutal.
Just standing around looking beautiful is so boring.
You have a choice. It may not be a choice you like, but it is still a choice.
I was kind of surprised to learn how controlling I am. I never thought of myself in that way. I think the root of the control issues is usually fear, because you want to know what's going to be happening at any given moment.
I can't imagine myself blowing up supermarkets!
Like all parents, my husband and I just do the best we can, hold our breath and hope we've set aside enough money for our kid's therapy.
People make a lot of jokes about the empty nest. Let me tell you, it is no laughing matter. It is really hard.
