Worrying won't prevent the worst outcome. I've learned to live in the moment, which is not my natural tendency. I've always thought that if I worried about something enough, it wouldn't happen. I forgot to worry about Parkinson's.

I wasn't a very good waitress, always spilling things on people and forgetting things. I once spilled ashes all over Mike Wallace's table.

My family absolutely comes first, and I don't mean that in a Pollyanna way. It's the focus of my life because it's what makes me happy.

When something's got to give, family always wins. I couldn't live with myself if it was the other way.

I never questioned I would have any trouble doing what I wanted to do. I'm not talking about getting to a certain position - or to success. It was just that I knew I wanted to act, and that I would make my living that way. Having the unconditional support of your parents is really freeing.

James Patterson has a way with female characters. He understands women in a way that a lot of male writers don't.

Everybody has their challenges I couldnt say that we have more challenges than other people, theyre just different.

I'm a bit of a homebody. It doesn't take long for me to get to the point where I'm ready to be home again.
