Working on 'King Of Texas' was a life experience for me.
The people who stood out in the Sandy Hook incident, the heroes, were the normal, ordinary people who went to save those children.
There are certainly a billion, ker-trillion girls out there more attractive than I am.
Shakespeare set a lot of his dramas in a historical perspective or war perspective, or he would study what was going on at that time.
My schools were quite diverse - those who serve their country come from every race and religion - and so the military schools I attended were a wonderful melting pot.
So far, the thing I seem to have been rewarded for in film is leaving myself behind and transforming myself into other people.
I'm fortunate to have a team of people who help me. I've got an assistant, an office manager, a nanny - she's not full-time, but she's there when I need her.
I've had an amazing career and amazing blessings. But I'm an everyday person, and I have lived an everyday life, and I drive an everyday car.
Oh, I just love being a character actress. You have a lot of fun, and not only that, you save tons on cosmetic surgery because you never have to have liposuction.
In Hollywood, a lot of acting feels like grandstanding.
In any film, there are 10 male roles for 1 female role, especially in the action films. They're heavy with the guys.
You have to make sure that you and your child are connecting, and it does help when they are looking directly into your eyes.
Isn't it nice not to have to compartmentalize yourself?
