My mom liked to infuse my life
with a lot of magic. When she read my fortune cookies, the
predictions were full of princesses and castles and jewels and
pirates. When I got old enough to read them, I was shocked to find
out how boring they really were.
[on rumors that she and husband Ryan Reynolds are purchasing a Fifth
Avenue luxury apartment] Newspapers say a lot of stuff, don't they?
Though I wish I could afford half the places that I hear I'm looking
at. Sign me up!
All my eggs are in one basket, and its my family. That's where my
heart is. that's where my everything is.
When I have bad days, I just eat lots of chocolate ice cream and
dance to the 'Lion King' soundtrack. It's really odd, but it's true.
My first child is going to be the oldest sibling to the next kid,
and that may change with each and every year. I'm looking forward to
how one baby influences the other, and to my family as a whole, to
every single chapter.
People say, 'Well, whose career do you follow? Where do you see your
career going? What movie do you want to do next?' And I can't tell
you what type of movie I would go and do next. I would have to read
the script and feel for a character. And if I feel in my gut for a
character, I know that that's somebody I have to play.
