“I swore I would never do a reality show. I've been offered them for years and years because our family life is a little crazy - I will admit to that. Definitely not the conventional mom or family - or anything, for that matter.”
“Animals shouldn't suffer for the sake of beauty.”
“I'd love to do a 'Sopranos' sequel.”
“I like real problems, the human condition - twisted, darker stuff.”
“'The Muthaship' was an experiment. All my friends are working at Endemol, so they just kind of pushed me into it to see if we could shoot a little web series on an iPhone - and that's what we did: we shot it on an iPhone. So it's so experiential and so silly.”
“I'm definitely stereotyped, and I'm very okay with that.”
“Whenever these shows end, it's tough. Everybody's gonna feel it.”
“I like to make everything my friends are involved in a little better. I should have just become a manager.”
“With 'Sons of Anarchy,' I had to leave a couple of times - I got another show, and I had a baby - so they sent me off to rehab. If I hadn't left, they probably would've killed me off by now.”
“If I found the right guy, I think I would get married. Maybe. I just feel like it's just a contract. Why sign any more contracts, really?”
“I should have just become a manager.”
“I could not identify with harming my child or giving up my child. But I could identify with giving up my child if it were going to be ultimately in his best interest.”
“I don't think anybody is ever going to call me to play someone who is mousy and demure.”
“I was a real East Village girl.”
“I have a penchant for playing characters that have been victimized repeatedly and still stood their ground and still remained unembittered.”
“I'm tired of the industry, tired of playing the whole game - the dressing up, the red carpet. I hate talking about myself.”
“I have so much fun with Matt LeBlanc that whether I love it or not really makes no difference to me because I just really have that much fun with him and playing with him. Being onstage with him is great.”
“I'm proud to join Cruelty Free International in calling on the United States to end cosmetics testing on animals.”
“On 'Sons of Anarchy', Wendy and Nero are the only characters who really don't have an agenda that has to do with anything but their love for their children, their love for their mates, their love for their friends.”
“People like to see certain actors do certain things, and people like to see me play that role. I also have no interest in playing a normal girl in a romantic comedy in some cutesy thing.”
