I enjoyed growing up part of my life in Virginia Beach. We had the ocean and the beach and a beautiful landscape. We were outdoors all the time and we played outside.

What is happiness other than a negotiation between reality and your dreams? It's understanding that you give up something for something else. I feel like that's been how I've been trying to be happy, although in my DNA there's more of a depressed person.

I normally don't have that much confidence. I usually am trying to talk to directors out of giving me a job.

I don't want to feel like I'm stuck doing one-stock performances.

I am happy with my career.

I think there has never ever been a career like John Williams'. That whole 'Jaws' phenomenon - there's nobody that knows how to use music like Spielberg, and John is just the perfect analog to Spielberg.

There was never a burning desire to be a top actress in the first place. I happily gave up my career to marry Mahesh.

We didn't know it was going to be a career - it was just a lot of fun. We were known as the bimbo band and never expected to last.
