Actress

Not caring more about what other people think than what you think. That's freedom.

I want things to be the best they can be. I want greatness.

I used to think that what scared me was the idea of being abandoned until someone said to me, 'Only children can be abandoned. Adults can't be abandoned because we have a choice. Children don't have a choice.'

I like to connect to people in the virtual world, exchanging thoughts and ideas, when in the physical world we might never have the opportunity to cross paths.

Don't let your wounds make you become someone you're not.

I want greatness.

You have to acknowledge a problem exists before you can actually go about finding a solution.

At its core Twitter is about sharing, and I think that in life we never feel better or more energized than when we're giving to someone else.

The truth is you can have a great marriage, but there are still no guarantees.

I said I would get better with each baby, and I have.

There's this idea that if you take your clothes off, somehow you must have loose morals.

I know I have an eccentric, obsessive-compulsive side.

I had an essence in my life that I was nothing.

Being an actress in Hollywood and being a celebrity tend to feed into one another, but just being a celebrity wouldn't really be interesting to me.

Emilio Estevez was definitely my first love.

I entered this career having no background or connection to acting.

I'm certainly not the first person to be in a relationship with a younger man, but somehow I was plucked out as a bit of a poster girl.

Some of my lowest points were the most exciting opportunities to push through to be a better person.

I'm an incurable optimist and a go-getter - it's in my nature to focus much more on what makes me happy than what makes me nervous.

Life isn't always easy, but it's simple.
