I do love history. I loved learning about wars and things in school.

If someone is going to give me a job looking younger than I am, I'm not going to turn it down. There are worst problems to have.

If I wasn't an actor, I probably would've tried to get a job with the Braves.

I'm really bad at memorizing, so that's one of my big struggles in an audition setting, with the lines.

I have been fiercely private, in part because I could never understand how a journalist could be otherwise. I was also the mother of small children, and security concerns were paramount.

It's only in the act of pushing yourself, challenging yourself to make a contribution to your community, to your family, to your country, that you actually realize your full self, you know?

I am reproached for allegedly preparing my children, my eldest son, as a successor. I swear to you I have never discussed this idea, even with my family or with my sons.

Oh, definitely and you know you take the bitter with the sweet but the benefits far outweigh the burdens of what I've been able to do for my family, my word.
