"

My love life is nobody's business... if I give it to 40 million people to read, what do I have left when I go home? I'm protective of my personal life that way.

"

I'm one of those strange people: I really love going to the gym.

"

Even when I'm spread thin there's never been a time where I've regretted helping others.

"

The best thing a person can be is of-some-use.

"

Small gestures can have a big impact.

"

I'm always shocked when actors have diva-esque behavior.

"

I love being my husbands wife.

"

I don't understand executives that pit women against each other.

"

I can tend to over-think things.

"

Believe anything is possible and then work like hell to make it happen.

"

You do your best work when you feel safe. 

"

The power of saying no is so much more than the power of saying yes.

"

If you walk down the street and smile at someone, that will get passed on to the next person. That has the power to change someone's day.

"

It's great for boys to see their moms work and achieve their goals.

"

Do what you love doing.

"

I'm a believer in 'Ignorance is bliss'.

"

We have raise our girls to celebrate their power and our boys to consider that an asset.

"

I think that power comes in numbers, and we're in an industry where the actors need to have a bigger voice.

"

I'm gobsmacked that it's 2017 and women constantly worry about being seen as a bitch vs successful leader.

"

If you’re not there for yourself, you’ll be totally absent everywhere.

"

I drink too much coffee.

"

I am such a scaredy-cat.

"

The hardest thing about being an actor, and especially when you're a woman trying to also have a family and a relationship, is to maintain some sort of normalcy.

"

It might be scary because you're taking a risk, but at the end of the day you can say you tried.

"

I've always had a tomboy quality to me that I embrace and don't run away from. At the same time I'm a real girlie-girl.

"

There's a profound difference between a man not fearing a woman and men actually respecting women.

"

What a wonderful time for women on television.

"

I am a big believer in women's lib, but I love when a man holds a door for me.

"

I think the whole world should try not talking for a day.

"

Live your life truthfully, do what's right for you--not what others think is right for you.

"

I'd rather go back to waitressing than play a character that I hate.

"

We need to instill in young girls that age is a privilege. I like my mind more at 50 than I did at 30.

"

The red carpet is really the only thing that makes me nervous.

"

That's what I love about acting, you get to find little pieces of yourself in every character you play.

"

I love making money, but you can't live your life waiting to get rich in a job that no longer feeds you artistically.

"

It's really time for weak men to get out of the way and let us do our jobs.

"

The reason I met my husband was because I remembered a friend's birthday. The moral of the story is: Remember people's birthdays.
