I've always loved donuts. I can't go near one or eat one, because then I'm just done for. I always want more.
Michael Keaton is amazing. He's one of my favorite actors. To get to work with him was a privilege and really was a wonderful thing.
Life keeps moving, and to try to stay still is like trying to hold grains of sand in your hand.
I have a sister, in particular, who's 13 years older than me. So growing up and watching her - watching her go to work, especially - was hugely influential to me. As the youngest, with a sibling that's a decade older, I had certain things that I would go to her about instead of my mother.
Being raised Catholic myself, I think people who are Catholic tend to carry a lot of guilt. It's almost a joke.
I was extremely close with my parents. Breaking away from that is a double-edged sword: It's something you need to do, but it's hard to cut the apron strings.
One of my favorite things to do is not to speak on screen. In theater it's different because there's a lot of emphasis on language - it's a different medium. But that is one of the most wonderful things about film. A person's face can say so much more than their voice can.
Yes, I'm very close to my family. And being that close to your family, I think you also struggle with how to become your own person.
My mom is a very independent person, and she's the funniest, smartest person in the room, all the time.
I had a really scary pregnancy and a very difficult delivery. My daughter and I are lucky to be alive.
I think I'm going to spend some time learning how to be a first-time mom, and then I'll go back to work.
I think in real life most of us don't know how to communicate our deepest feelings very well.
Before I could talk, I would try to sing.
I think everyone feels lost at times during their high school years.
I just got back from Switzerland, which I've never been to. I went to Switzerland and Amsterdam.
I always thought I was a little shy, especially compared to my brother and my sister, but I guess I was always the kid doing performances in the front room.
After I finished 'E.R.', I wanted to concentrate on re-examining what kind of actress I am and taking time for real-life things.
People who have no idea it's me when they first see me playing something, and later they realize, 'That's her from whatever it is,' it's a great compliment that they can forget.
The one thing about being on 'ER' that has changed is that I'm more easily recognizable.
I remember when I took the role on E.R., I thought, 'I haven't really been able to play a working class woman. I've played girls, I've played funny, but I haven't played a working class woman. That sounds like something I'd like to do.'
