“I was putting so much time and energy into just my work, but I was raised to believe that family comes first.”

Guys are much more obvious than they think they are.

My sister is Korean and my parents adopted her about three years before I was born and that is how I grew up.

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.

What a fortunate fellow I am, I kept telling myself. Nobody has ever had such a lovely time as this!

I’m a success today because I had a friend who believed in me and I didn’t have the heart to let him down.

Expectations are a form of first-class truth: If people believe it, it’s true.

The doubters said, “Man can not fly,” The doers said, “Maybe, but we’ll try,” And finally soared In the morning glow While non-believers Watched from below.

You have to know within yourself that you can do this.

You must see it. You must believe it. And then you must never stop working to make it happen.

If you don’t believe in yourself, how can you expect anyone else to?? You are your own worst enemy! Once you overcome yourself, then no one can stop you.

I neither believe nor disbelieve anything.
