“Reese Witherspoon is my everywoman. She's managed to have a family and this amazing career. That's the goal.”

“The beauty of voice-over work is that maybe you come in and record once every two weeks for a couple of hours and do a couple episodes a session. It's awesome! You spend an afternoon playing in the booth, and there you have it. It doesn't interfere with much.”

“My mom was an aesthetician and she went to beauty school back in the '60s. I just remember watching her do her makeup all the time. She always had her nails done, makeup on - her face was ready to go when she went out. I loved it.”

“I can celebrate food anytime. I love cheese. When I crave a certain food, I just eat it.”

“As a child I was given the freedom to explore my passion for acting, but I also grew up in a home where there were a lot of rules. I didn't have 'yes' parents.”

“I appreciate humor so much, but I'm actually not a funny girl.”

“I look at my father. He is one of my heroes. He is such an incredible, classy man. He was such a great father and such a great husband in so many ways, and we lived through some pretty tough times losing my mom. When I see all that he did, I think, 'Wow, that's a really wonderful man.'”

“When I look up and see a star, I know my mom is there. She's with me all the time. It's a powerful connection.”
