I was the all-American face.

Most bad behaviour comes from insecurity.

When I was younger I probably didn’t understand something basic about tact, but I think it kept faint-hearted people at arm’s distance and that’s not such a bad thing, because life is short and I know the kind of people I want to work with.

There’s a small club of women who are willing to age.

I became an actor because I couldn’t not.

I will walk out on a scene if it’s all lit and ready to go but it’s not happening.

The older you get, the more you’ve done.

I don’t think that I’m that easy to live with. I have to be reminded that I can have fun. I need my family to remind me in a loving and nice way to lighten up.

I had a very insightful friend who warned me back when I stopped reading scripts, ‘It’s easier to change directions while you’re still moving.’ If you stop, it’s harder to get started again. I still don’t think I made the wrong decision, but he was right.

Actors always want you to believe something else even though that’s the truth and to do that well it’s almost a dying art.
