I'm the homemaker, and that's fine with me because I really like that.
I'm not up there with Kate Winslet and Julia Roberts. I don't sell tickets. I've known that for a long time.
If there's nothing for me to do as an actress, then that's frustrating. I'd rather go work at a menial labour job, where I can actually get my hands dirty.
I'm not exactly the type of actress who does half a dozen films a year.
I'm not in the business of talking about what 'isn't.'
I just pray I can keep working. I just pray I grow old gracefully.
I really wanted to be a mom. I didn't want my kids to be raised by a nanny, which would have been the case if I were working two movies in a year, you know? And I would have been hospitalized with fatigue.
I'm not a practice religion freak. I didn't grow up in a religious family, but I have a faith.
I'm really trying to be in the now - that's so spiritual and stuff. It's just so much more pleasant and sane.
I never used to want rehearsals, because I was like, 'Oh, no. I'm more spontaneous. I'm a natural. I'm a one-take person.' But that was because I didn't have any training. I was going off instinct.
I never went to college. I was pregnant at 23.
As an actor, I had noticed very vividly that very few directors know how to direct actors because they haven't done it.
Divorce in and of itself, and with children, is devastating.
Entertainment and escapism - those are the bigger money-making films today.
