Getting older doesn't bother me. When I was 30, I thought I should have achieved more, but you get more comfortable and think it's time to stop putting pressure on yourself.

I know some people are really comfortable with talking about their feelings and hopes and fears in public, but I'm not, and I don't think it's that extraordinary.

Being an actor does make you aware of your age.

It might be quite boring if you did something and thought it was perfect.

My parents were both from extremely different backgrounds. My father's Italian, my mother was of Swedish descent. They're both first-generation Americans.

I was seen in earlier years by family members and people of authority as somebody wasting his time. I had trouble with the restrictions of conformity. It made me edgy.

I'm an extremely busy woman but I still make time for myself and my family. You can do both, and do both well, if you really want to.

These days, children can text on their cell phone all night long, and no one else is seeing that phone. You don't know who is calling that child.
