When I was growing up I always wanted to be a waitress. My sister opened a restaurant in Mississippi, and I went down there and was a waitress for a few days. Let me tell you, I got it out of my system.

I sing; I started my career at 9 years old in 'Les Miserables' on Broadway.

We did a remake of Lost in Space. Filmed it in London for four months.

I had to have my first kiss in front of, like, a hundred people. I didn't know what to do. So my sisters told me to, like, practice on a pillow, you know? But it didn't kiss me back so I didn't know what to expect.

My favorite photos of family are framed in my house, not posted on social media, and they'll remain there.

As parents, we have kids who reflect back to us our addiction to devices, and we have all sorts of worries about whether this is a healthy thing.

I come from a family of linguists. My maternal grandparents have been authors and translators.

The key is that your children are aware that you love them a lot, and that you are there when they really, really need you. If a kid was ill, I would simply leave a meeting and go home.
