Quotations and Poems

* “Are you trying to manipulate me? It’s working”

* “I’m not one of those people who thinks they simply deserve success. I have the drive to work.”

* “When you’re suddenly pregnant and no one is standing by your side, even if you’re in your 30s, it’s a hard conversation. I’m a traditional girl, and I believe in marriage, and I just always thought that’s the way I’d be doing this. For a moment, it was hard for me to accept that this was the way I was going to have a family.”

* “I’m thrilled to be working with Great American Cookies to promote literacy and support community libraries … I’m passionate about books and believe that no matter what your age, be it 3 30, there are few better ways to grow as a person than by reading.”

* “I don’t see any upside in any of the drama being public for anyone. It’s not really my style … At the end of the day, it’s my family. We keep it private.”

* “first big thing I did after having my child, so I was really excited to get back to work.”

* “And she chose this, which was not a big payday, and she’s a supporting role … I think many other kids in her position would have taken the money and the leading role, but she felt there was a pedigree to the property, and she had never been in a feature film. She wanted to work with a high-caliber cast (including John Corbett, Ginnifer Goodwin, Josh Duhamel and Bridget Moynahan), and soak up all their abilities.”

* “The ‘Sex and the City’ job was supposed to be literally one episode. I think my line was, ‘Hi! Nice to meet you!’ Most of the time, I never even spoke in the series. I think the idea of Natasha was much bigger than the actual, physical being. For me, it became this gem of an opportunity.”

* “I had never heard of the (Ramona and Beezus) books before. Being an old dude, who didn’t read a lot as a kid anyway, I wasn’t aware of it. So, I read this script and I just thought it was a charming story … The other enticing thing was my friend Bridget Moynahan was going to play my wife, and we had done two projects together. We worked on Sex and the City a decade ago, and then we did Serendipity. So, when I finished the script I was ready to go to work.”
