Acting... honestly, I'm so uncomfortable and so awkward that I could never think about setting foot in a theater room or acting class.

I'll do anything that sparks me. Sometimes I'll want to do something random with ballet, and then I'll want to be a hippie caterpillar in an animation film. Who knows what will come my way, but I'm going to try and put little hints into the universe, and hopefully they'll float on by.

I come from Texas. We're a different brand of people. You're not changing who I am.

Some people are money hungry and don't stop to think of who they're affecting and what really matters. There's a lot of ugly.

I wanted to do another movie that could make us laugh and cry and feel good about the world. I wanted to do something else that could make us smile. This is a time when we need to smile more and Hollywood movies are supposed to do that for people in difficult times.

I've had my stint at Columbus. My family has been right by my side throughout, and that's exactly what I wanted. I found my happiness.

Much of what I do in my job is think about whether relationships we see in data are causal, as opposed to just reflecting correlations. It's exactly these issues which come up in evaluating studies in public health.

The women I know who have children and have careers, they seem to be very happy. They love their children and they love their jobs. But happiness comes out of being willing to do your work in your twenties to find out who you are, what you love.
