If I’m not comfortable in my own skin or confident in who I am, then I’m going to pick parts based on how people are going to view them, not based on what I find challenging or entertaining.
I wanted to just surround myself with people who I think are better than I am, whether they’re actors or directors or producers, so that I could learn from them.
I started teaching myself, taking a breath or a moment that’s not overreacting or having an explosion. It made me such a better person. Let alone a better mother, but also just a better human.
I don’t necessarily put on an act when I go on Jay Leno or dress differently in public than I do in private. I’d like to think I’m the same person, more or less.
Honestly, after doing a TV show for eight years and a cartoon for more than a decade, you are, financially speaking, in a very lucky position where you don’t have to work for the sake of working. And I decided to take advantage of that.
I feel like every role that you take there’s a part of you that obviously feels like you can do it. I don’t know if perfect is the right word because I don’t believe in perfection and I don’t think it exists but I think striving to do something well is in every single part.
I’ve only been a mom for not even two years yet, so I haven’t had much of a chance. But boy do I wish I could have lunch with my girlfriends in the middle of the afternoon. I don’t remember the last time I had lunch in the afternoon with my girlfriends.
People strive to achieve a certain form of perfection constantly and it’s impossible because it’s a form of opinion. I can think someone is pretty but the person next to me can think that they’re unattractive.
