“I don't always take off my make-up before bed, and I like pizza at two in the morning.”

“I don't over-gift. I don't inundate my child with a lot of things.”

“Definitely trust yourself. Work hard. Be honest with yourself. And life can be joyful. It is joyful. Just give it your all, and it's all going to work out.”

“I just look for characters I can relate to.”

“I found it to be more challenging to be in a huge effects movie, because a lot of the things aren't there. You have to trust the director and react to nothing.”

“I'm so spoiled - I must have a Starbucks vanilla latte every day.”

“We all keep dreaming, and luckily, dreams come true.”

“I do like to buy my own clothes because I like to support designers. I know the work that goes into it.”

“I work very hard, but I also really enjoy time with my family as well. So I take everything as it comes, but I really am very selfish about my family time.”

“This business is so unstable, and you never really know where you're going to be.”

“Growing up, I always had my dreams set on being an actor, so I looked up to Julia Roberts, Audrey Hepburn.”

“We're trying to raise good humans, and some days, we're better at it than others. You don't always get treats.”

“In North Carolina nobody bothers us; we're all about concentrating on the work or our auditions that we're trying to get a flight out for. So all that crap is not something that I'm confronted with on a daily basis.”

“Becoming a mother has been the most amazing experience - in an instant, you become strong. You have to be a little bit wiser; it's the most important job in the world.”

“I'm not the easiest person to live with. I'm kind of a slob.”

“I did Phone Booth, and that was shot very, very quickly, but that was Joel Schumacher, who's shot so many movies that, if anybody can figure out how to do it in a couple of days, it's him.”

“I'm not strictly vegetarian, but meat doesn't play a big part in my diet.”

“I went with a pixie cut when my daughter was really young. It was easy - I mean, it was really easy. But I missed my long hair. Especially after a long winter, all I want is sexy summer hair.”

“When 'Top Gun' came out, my sisters were like, 'Oh, my God, 'Top Gun!' Tom Cruise!' And I very confidently said, 'I'm going to marry him one day.' It wasn't like, 'How do I get to Tom Cruise?' It was just, 'I think I'm going to marry him. Why not? He'll like me. I'm fun.'”

“I'll do my makeup in the car sometimes.”
