• "My mother's into frilly dresses, frilly eyelashes and hairstyles from the 70s. I'm more contemporary. We always seem to argue about that. She wants me to be her clone. But I have to be an individual."
• "My mother worked too hard for me to take my clothes off in my first movie."
• "People coming up and knocking on the bus door on race weekend is not my favorite thing."
• "I enjoy being married. We feel very blessed and we're having a great time."
• "When I told my mom I wanted to act, her immediate response was, 'No, no, no, no.' When I asked her why she said, 'You love to read books. Become an anthropologist.' Then I said, 'Mom, i'm going to become an actress no matter what you say.' It's funny because now my mother tells interviewers that she knew I was going to become an actress since I was a little girl."
• "I was always told I was special. And I was also assured that I had a gift and a purpose."
