Having my son, I mean, I feel already that it makes me a better actress. Just the feeling and the love that expands in my being is more than I ever thought possible.

Right now I just want to chill for a while. Take a hiatus from all the craziness. To clean my house, see my family. Just see some movies and pick some strawberries.

I know stealing a foot is weird. But, hello, living in a house where a foot is available to be stolen is weird.

It's been my dream to be in a Western, and to be able to wear the clothes, have a big gun, wear a big hat, have a big horse, and be a take-no-prisoners lady in the Civil War era.

Being an actress is similar to trying to fit in with the popular kids in high school. You're expected to drive the right car, wear the right clothes and say the right things.

I saw Food, Inc. last night - it was like a horror movie. I'm definitely thinking about my food supply now and how I want to grow my own.

I came to L.A. to work and become a better actress, not to be a star.

Yeah, I've always sung, and I always try to find a way for music to be in my life.

I carry my burdens to the Lord. He lightens my shoulders.

The fear of failure is a liability.

For someone who's smarter than a supercomputer, sometimes you're a real idiot.

Leadership has a harder job to do than just choose sides. It must bring sides together.

I don't believe in the myth of the "self made man". Nobody gets through alone.

I can count on one hand the directors who actually directed me.

Tim Tebow's like the snake doctor for Florida. Gotta stop the snake doctor, keep the Gators from moving the ball....this time he snaked Alabama with a play action pass.

Love can wait to give; it is lust that can't wait to get.

I guess when I was a kid I wasn't the type of person playing a lot of pranks. I was the type of person upon whom pranks were pulled.

What I do has to be a function of what I can do, not a function of what people ask me to do.
