I think you judge your career by the scripts that are being sent your way.

I have a lot of respect for what I do, for this profession.

Shonda Rhimes, especially, saw something in me that no one had and then wrote to my strengths for 'Grey's Anatomy.' That's the job I think really opened up a whole new world for me.

It's just as easy for me to be building a fence somewhere and scraping by on unemployment in between doing a guest star spot. I've been there.

I've had tons of incredible conversations with people who say they got married or buried relatives to my songs.

When you've married someone who's been at war, there is nothing you can do that compares to that level of selflessness and bravery.

Even men used to hide their marriages because they used to feel people will not like them anymore. It's the industry which has the false notion that an actor or an actress, if married, is not desirable to the audience.

Romance is everything.
