I did not like leaving them when they were little or big. You have to have priorities regarding what you will allow to take you away from your kid.

Do you know what a blessing it is to make movies that make people happy?

I’m not a big fan of romantic comedies, believe it or not.

I have never done a thriller, and it will just be really fun for me to heave and pant and run and climb and break windows and scream every once in a while.

Never worry about bad press: All that matters is if they spell your name right.

I auditioned on my own. I tried to make a mark for myself without anybody’s help, not even Mom’s.

I always wanted to be a mom.

I went on countless auditions. I begged my parents until I finally was allowed to be in a theatrical play when I was 13. It was the most important thing in my life.

I’m superstitious… but not like wear the same underwear for two weeks superstitious.

I smoke, isn’t that terrible?

If it’s a big hit, fantastic. If it’s not, then it’s not. I don’t worry about my work.

Honesty will never break you.

You have people who can’t act and they get all these parts. Paris Hilton falls into her own category. She’s made a career out of it.

I’m not afraid of heights. I rock climb. I can repel off the side of a building.
