When I was in my early 20s, I had my hair permed. Bad idea! It turned into total frizz. My advice to women is, if you have nice hair already, don't get a perm, leave your hair alone!

I'm a ready-shoot-aim kind of gal.

A guy at ABC told me to change my name and get a nose job. I said ‘You get a nose job.’

When I was pregnant, I was so huge and people on the bus would get up for me. That made me feel so precious and valued and valuable. I try to treat everyone like they’re pregnant.

I’m living every ten-year-old boy’s fantasy. The other day, Chris and I had this big scene where we had to pull out our guns, and I was thinking, ‘Here we are in New York City – a place where every actor wants to be – and we are literally playing cops and robbers. How great is that?’

If I can play a little part in the world’s healing, and making it a better place than when I came, then I just thank God for that chance.

Adoption was a bumpy ride – very bumpy. But, God, was it worth the fight.

I’m a water person; water heals.

As an actress, there were so many months, years even, when I didn’t get work, when I wanted to quit.

I have a nest egg, and I don’t buy above my means.
