I was really making fun of Red Fisher.... I called him the man who thought that nothing would bore you. He thought it was his job to fill the half hour, it was your job to make it interesting. And I thought, 'Oh boy, that's something I can do.' I took his character and started fooling around.
As an actor, it's a very strange adjustment to start playing the father. I was used to playing a kid my whole life, and then all of a sudden, it's like, boom. I guess when I let my hair go grey, things changed.
When you're making TV, the last thing you want to do is watch TV. It's too much.
The people who watched 'Dawson's Creek' when it originally aired aren't too old to enjoy 'Life Unexpected.' And then you've got the whole next generation that's hooked on the 'Dawson's reruns seeing this show, so it's perfect for them.
I was at this model search with a friend, supporting her, and next thing you know I ended up in it.
I love what I do, but more so, I'm glad to have people who care about me close by.
I de-stress with my family, just at home pruning roses, cutting, working in the garden.
I've been a fortunate girl: I grew up in a family that loved me from day one. I feel well grounded and lucky from that. So everything else is a bonus, because I grew up in this family that I adored, and adored me, and I think when you have that, you are already ahead of the game in the sense of how you feel about yourself.
I don't even think my children are aware of what I've done. When somebody will ask me for my autograph, Spenser-Margaret will say, 'You must watch 'Charlie's Angels.' You know, that's like all I've done to them.
Success is carved out of a hard tree. It doesn't just happen. It's people who stick to it that succeed.
I've always been into older homes, even if I have to refurbish or remodel or raise roof lines or knock out walls.
I get better roles in television. I'm not going to do a lesser role just to be in a feature film.
Cancer stops you in your tracks. It really makes you think about what's important. In a second, life can change. Don't ever forget to say thank you for love and family. What good is your success without them?
It's not about me, it's about my family. You don't answer questions for you, but for us. You learn to live beyond yourself.
