The time I'm not spending with my kid has to be worth it, so when I sat down with my agents after I was ready to go back to work, I told them: It's all about the directors.

I thought it was my job to give all the boys their first kiss.

There's no such thing as a perfect guy. I think it would be strange if somebody was absolutely everything you always wanted, because then there'd be no challenge. Also, you'd feel inferior.

I wish there were two of me and 48-hour days so I could get everything done. But for me, I have to not try and think that everything has to be 100% perfect all the time and leave room for error. As long as my kids feel loved and a priority, everything really is secondary.

But I don't feel the need to be famous.

Every time I'd get a critique or some redirection, I'd always just take it very personally. Now I have no problem with it.

Everyone in my family is an artist in some capacity whether they're musicians, painters, or sculptors, so it's in their blood.

I could have sexual chemistry with vinegar.

I don't like being the center of attention.

I don't put weight on fame, and having people around me just because I am famous makes me feel really bad about myself.

I wish I could speak Spanish, because it would be a lot easier to play more interesting roles.

I'm all about supporting anyone whose art is also the way they make their living.

I've got cousins galore. Mexicans just spread all their seeds. And the women just pop them out.

In Eastern culture, people see ghosts, people talk about ghosts... it's just accepted. And in Western culture it's just not.

It feels like I'm starting to come into my own in terms of where I want to go artistically, toward more complicated, interesting characters.

Just being a mother is making me a big, weepy mess.

Most nights I end up wearing a wife beater T-shirt and boxers.

Movies are the shadiest business in the world.

My parents were young and liberal and knew I was going to drink anyway, so they let me do it at home.

My theory is that if you look confident you can pull off anything - even if you have no clue what you're doing.
