Quotes

  • I would say divorce, breaking up, being a child of divorce, any of those things are always very challenging.
  • I really like being married. I love my husband.
  • I'm much more shy than most of my family.
  • I didn't have a sense of being in a show business family or of being different, partly because Los Angeles is an industry town, so you don't think about it as being special.
  • People always think actors are really 'out there,' so you wouldn't have me pegged as one, but I knew pretty early on it was what I wanted to do, and I think that's pretty lucky.
