I think when you are the parents of a gifted athlete, the best thing in the world you can do is to encourage them, in my opinion. My dad didn't push me and I didn't push my children in athletics. ↗

I don't imagine my parents are too excited about my kind of life. The surrounding weirdness bothers them. Still, I think they're pretty good. Their lives are based on what their friends think, just like ours are. ↗

I don't really remember the day we lost our home in the floods, but looking back I can understand how devastating it was for my parents.

Acting is not about being someone different. It's finding the similarity in what is apparently different, then finding myself in there. ↗

The interesting thing about being a mother is that everyone wants pets, but no one but me cleans the kitty litter. ↗
