Every once in a while, I'll have an acting role that allows me to look at something in my life and work it out.

---

My kids are resilient, I'm resilient, and I guess I am an optimist.

---

This whole thing about announcing stuff and sharing it online is a new phenomenon.

---

You can so easily be dismissed as a thug or hysterical if you're a woman if you don't keep your rage in check.

---

I guess I'm a pretty curious person. I like doing new things. I like being challenged. I'm competitive. Trying to beat my personal best.

---

Work is hard, but being a mom is harder.

---

I'm very happy to be a working actor.

---

I'm a working actor, and I want to stay a working actor, and I want everybody happy.

---

I don't strive for balance. I just try to get through my to-do list, with my kids' homework being at the top of it, and then try to prepare for the next audition or whatever scene I'm shooting next. Balance.

---

A new thing I've been doing is just making sure I clear off my desk and try to only touch a piece of paper once, so I get the mail, open it up, deal with it then. My son's homework, or what I get from his teachers, the same way. That way, it's not nagging me, things to add to my to-do list.
