Quote
1 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.
2 I never thought about being on a series before. It seemed like such a big commitment. But I love going to work every day. This is not about ego, it’s about work, and that’s refreshing in this town.
3 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.
4 The idea is that we’re doing it just for the joy of the actual physical experience. We may record something just for the fun of it, but the idea is just to be truly joyful and truly fun, especially for me, because I take myself too seriously all the time.
5 We played one warm-up gig at this bar that was kinda like that bar in ‘The Blues Brothers’ with the chicken wire. This place called The Brick House, in Housatonic. I really can’t believe we’re going to play for people in New York City. I’m terrified, but it’s a small enough room. But it’s really just supposed to be for the fun of it.
6 I came to L.A. to work and become a better actress, not to be a star.
7 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.
8 I think I need a little break. I’ve got a two-year old. I’ll be part of The Leisure Class for a while.
9 Yeah, I’ve always sung, and I always try to find a way for music to be in my life.
10 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.
