“I’m never satisfied with the way I look.”

I’m terrible with patience.

Even if you plan a marriage and a family, you are never quite prepared for the reality versus how you imagined it. In a lot of ways it’s better, and in a lot of ways it’s worse. That’s life, right?

My career is really important to me, but there have to be other great, important things in your life besides work.

I keep kind of making certain mistakes in public appearances over and over again.

I was the youngest child and really spoiled. I loved to play make-believe. I loved pretending to be all kinds of different people and it just seemed natural that I would go into acting.

I think that everybody has a right to their own thoughts, their own feelings and their own private moments, if they want them.

I’m a sappy mom now. I didn’t think I would be. I thought I’d be a cool mom who keeps everything in perspective.

Kids are a huge sacrifice; they change everything – but I’m ready to work for things of greater importance than going out to meet someone for dinner at 10 o’clock at night.

If I have to be focused and watch what I say, then I have to be comfortable.

In my career, I’m very grateful for the opportunities.

There are some things that, if you say them out loud, will hurt the other person’s feelings. I tend to say them anyway. It’s better to be honest.

Hollywood likes to label everyone so you’re easier to identify.

Isn’t it so weird the day you wake up and you’re just going with the flow? And you just suddenly are a mom.

Adoption has been a part of my life and a part of my family, so it was how I wanted to start. It felt natural and right to me.

So much about living life, to me, is about humility and gratitude. And I’ve tried very hard to have those qualities and be that person and I’m just so disappointed in myself that I allowed it to slip.

It’s more fun to think that there are other worlds.

I’m not trying to be Mr. Universe, but I want to stay in shape.

It is not enough that your designs, nay that your actions, are intrinsically good, you must take care they shall appear so.

Most opportunities are disguised as problems.

And I’ve been hurt hurt bad. I might be just twenty-six, but I’m an old woman in disguise twenty-six goin’on sixty-five.

Things aren’t always as they seem – Jesus had to die to rise from the grave.

I’m a big woman. I need big hair.

I usually go to sleep with wet hair. When I wake up, it either has a really pretty wave, or I look like a poodle.

We should always be disposed to believe that that which appears white is really black, if the hierarchy of the Church so decides.
