Quote

My kids make me laugh every day. And they're so supportive. As I get older, they understand those things I worried about - the guilt of being gone - in a way that's so healing for me, when they say, Mom, we know you love what you do. We love to watch you do what you do.

It's funny that it all becomes about clothes. It's bizarre. You work your butt off and then you win an award and it's all about your dress. You can't get away from it.

If something seems frightening or horrible, I should probably do it.

I take the kids to church and Sunday school. They love it. I really think it's important for a child to feel that there are things that are bigger than your life out there.

For our first date, I made Ryan Hamburger Helper, which is basically what I grew up on. I make my own version of it now, with macaroni and cheese and hamburger meat. And the kids - it's their favorite dinner.

I love to cook comfort food. I'll make fish and vegetables or meat and vegetables and potatoes or rice. The ritual of it is fun for me, and the creativity of it.

The joy we get as actors is out of transforming ourselves into something that's not necessarily anything true to ourselves. And it's a power - not being yourself, and being in the role it's just like another prop.

You hope you're saying the right things - but also, as a kid becomes a teenager, you feel like there's a ticking clock for you to tell them everything they need to know.

Obviously, this isn't the time in my life that I would have chosen to do this, but I feel like life gives you these challenges for a reason. I feel so happy and glad to be in the place that I am. I really feel blessed. This is something I need to face and take control of.

I don't know what I would have done so many times in my life if I hadn't had my girlfriends.
Reese Witherspoon
Image
I thought I knew everything about love and relationships in my 20s, the ignorance of youth is bliss. As you get older, you start to realise that you don't really know anything and life is a great traveling journey. Life is unexpected...you just never know whats going to happen.

I'm just chatty. But I do express my opinion.

Art is art. Television has elevated itself, in certain ways, but it's always pushed people's consciousness.

Image
I always let my husband read the script so he knows what's about to happen to his wife. When I played Cheryl Strayed in Wild, I'd get really mad about certain things, I'd say really profound things, and I'd curse out of nowhere. He'd say, Are you you, or are you Cheryl?

God, America is a country predicated on listening to everybody. When did we stop listening to one another?

I played a lawyer in a movie so many times I think I am a lawyer. And clearly I'm not a lawyer, because I got arrested.

I like Yoga. I run. I go hiking. I'm very active. I like being outside.

Well I always wanted to be Dolly Parton when I was a little girl. I was obsessed with her.

I was talking to my friend who's a psychologist, who says a woman's frontal cortex isn't fully developed till 25 and a man's till 28. I was almost 34 when we met he was 39. So I wouldn't say either of us has wildly changed I just love him more and more.

That said, I'd love to do a musical, either in film or on stage.

Do I need men? I don't think it's about needing men. It's about love.
