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.

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.

---

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

Growing up, I didn't know about the Japanese internment camps until I saw a movie of the week as an adult. I remember going, 'How come that wasn't covered in history class?' Moving to California, you run into people whose grandparents lost everything and their businesses and were put in these internment camps.

Work is hard, but being a mom is harder.

---

My life guided me to express my full potential.

---

I'm very happy to be a working actor.

---

I'm dedicated to bringing to life what the author is trying to portray. I try to make the producers cry and the crew laugh.

---

Less is more. You should wear earrings or bracelets, but not both.

---

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.
