Treating myself is more about just going out and having a great hike, or going on a long motorbike ride.

I've never gone for the smooth, suave Latin or French lover. That usually makes me think they're trying to pull one over on me.

People will always put you in a box that they think you fit in, and it's up to you to not fall into it.

I'm not very good at resting on my laurels. I am a bit of a workaholic, and I like to keep busy and active, so I think that's what drives me.

It's not hard to draw from within yourself to play someone protective of her daughter. I have animals and I'm a daughter, sister, wife, aunt and friend, and I can be fiercely protective.

I handle emotional pain by trying to understand that it's going to be painful and to allow for it instead of fighting it. Doesn't make it any easier, though.

Sometimes, if you don't have kids yourself, it's assumed you won't understand or know how to play a mom, which is kind of silly if you think about it.

I do like to treat myself, I just don't do it very often.

I think sometimes the hardest obstacle is yourself.

I am inspired when I see goodness in other people.

Chemistry is a hard thing. I don't think you can force it, and it doesn't necessarily mean that you have to have great chemistry outside of work. It's just something that sparks on screen or doesn't.

To fill the hour──that is happiness.

...If there is no risk, there is no reward.

Don’t wait for others to celebrate you, learn to do it yourself.

You are encased in my heart.

An opinion, though it is original, does not necessarily differ from the accepted opinion; the important thing is that it does not try to conform to it.

I really like to communicate to my fans. I have a fan club president who I've had for over 15 years.

For me as a filmmaker, I do the projects I'm really excited about.

Honesty and transparency make you vulnerable. Be honest and transparent anyway.

You have to work to carve out your own little corner, and I'm certainly smacking my head against the wall trying to make a dent. I just hope I don't get brain-damaged before I get there

I know that when I am up for it I will, and when I’m not in the mood to, I don’t make myself feel badly over it.
