There is no level of professional rejection that can compare to almost dying.

In high school, I decided that all of my female friends were stupid and traded them for guy friends. I loved horror movies and heavy metal and used these interests to become a 'guys' girl.'

I had a tightly knit group of female friends in elementary school - we called ourselves the Sensational Six.

Hindsight is always 20/20, but I imagine a lot of married and divorced people have insights to share about how they felt during their engagement.

Whichever work you do, people go through life having several priorities. I know my football is what got me here. The work I do for SOS or my charity work in general has always been a priority for me, and then my family is a priority as well, so you set yourself different things, and they just balance each other out.

I have a sense of urgency, of time. I am a woman and am always running between work, doctors' appointments, school meetings, filling up the fridge, then going back to work. Like everyone who combines professional and family life, I am always doing several things at the same time.

I'm the third or fourth generation of actor in my family; I'm sure if they were butchers, I'd be a butcher, too.

Parents do not have the courage to say no to certain things that their children demand. They are rather scared of their children.
