Entertainment and escapism - those are the bigger money-making films today.
From the time I was wee big, my mother was one of the first members of Mary Kay Cosmetics. Women going door-to-door and letting housewives have their own business - that was really a breakthrough. It was huge.
I tell you, being on a soap is the hardest work, and it gets so old. Get on your mark, get in the light, don't turn too far upstage - that's all it is.
Maybe I'm a control freak.
I want to be perfect. I don't want to fail. And you always fail.
I'd rather attempt something I'm not sure I can do.
I think I've always been waiting for things to happen.
We really enjoy entertaining our children with characters. We'll act out all of The Wizard of Oz together.
I used to ask Sean questions about acting. He's a brilliant actor, but I could never digest his information. I work primarily on an intuitive level.
All marriages have their phases.
I don't know enough about politics. I am out of the loop.
My son graduated high school and went to Haiti to work for his dad's organization and then extended his stay. It's incredible what he's doing.
Hollywood is a suction for your confidence or your faith or your togetherness. Just walking on the street you can feel it.
I've always wanted to be able to let myself go over the edge.
People buy box sets, and they sit for a whole weekend with a computer on their lap in bed, and they watch two seasons back-to-back of a show. They are invested in the person within that arc or the dynamics of those people - the relationships - and it doesn't matter to them if they're watching it on an iPhone or a cinema screen.
I could not understand why Meryl Streep, for example, is allowed to work while pregnant and I'm not.
I'm the homemaker, and that's fine with me because I really like that.
It's what still excites me most about acting: letting your imagination go places it's never been before. There's nothing better than that.
With 'House of Cards,' you really get the heart and the meat of drama - and it's a thriller!
If there's nothing for me to do as an actress, then that's frustrating. I'd rather go work at a menial labour job, where I can actually get my hands dirty.
