I tell you, being on a soap is the hardest work, and it gets so old. Get on your mark, get in the light, don't turn too far upstage - that's all it is.
You have to do the work in your marriage, but it has to be laid on a strong foundation of love.
No nude scenes. No sex-symbol parts. I want people to recognize me for my work, not just for being pretty.
Hollywood is difficult to navigate if you have integrity, so I opted not to work if there wasn't enough to do in a role, which doesn't have to do with the role's size.
My son graduated high school and went to Haiti to work for his dad's organization and then extended his stay. It's incredible what he's doing.
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 like the whole package to be good, It's a rarity that that happens, so I end up not working a lot.
I secretly want to skydive, even though it's my greatest fear!
I've been told I've done a lot of flop movies. And I think, 'Wow, I've never considered them flops!' I've loved every character I played.
The word 'demand' is a tricky word when used by our gender. When used by men, it's part of their vernacular.
The seasoned woman is going to offer a more seasoned character.
Entertainment and escapism - those are the bigger money-making films today.
The revolution of electronics hasn't taken away the good smell of books. It's really hopeful to see.
People buy box sets, and they sit for a whole weekend with a computer on their lap in bed, and they watch two seasons back-to-back of a show. They are invested in the person within that arc or the dynamics of those people - the relationships - and it doesn't matter to them if they're watching it on an iPhone or a cinema screen.
