I always loved to dance and move. I probably should have been a mime or something like that.

I loved Europe so much.

I think the inception of my interest in arts was when I was around 9 or 10 and I started dancing. I was really convinced that I was going to go to New York and be onstage in 'A Chorus Line.'

Famous is celebrityism, and I don't want that... I know that I'm not that. Everybody knows who you are. I can't imagine living that life, but I don't think I consider myself famous.

I remember calling directors numerous times and saying, 'Oh, you should cast so-and-so instead of me. They're much better for the role.'

I run, lift weights and do yoga to stay in shape.

The best part of shooting 'House of Cards' in Baltimore is eating lots of soft-shell crab.

Dark chocolate-covered blueberries are my favorite sweet.

From the time I was wee big, my mother was one of the first members of Mary Kay Cosmetics. Women going door-to-door and letting housewives have their own business - that was really a breakthrough. It was huge.

It's just never been in my nature to go out there and go on a red carpet to say, 'Oh, publicize me!'

I don't know enough about politics. I am out of the loop.

I wish I were stronger in areas. Not so consumed or distracted.

I really wanted to be a mom. I didn't want my kids to be raised by a nanny, which would have been the case if I were working two movies in a year, you know? And I would have been hospitalized with fatigue.

I'm not exactly the type of actress who does half a dozen films a year.

I met an agent through my modeling agency who encouraged me to go out and audition for sitcoms, and I was absolutely petrified because I had no desire to do it.

You couldn't pay me enough money to go back to being 20. So many tears; what a nightmare it was. It's much better being older.

As an actor, I had noticed very vividly that very few directors know how to direct actors because they haven't done it.

I don't want to always be the tortured, soulful wife.

You're never going to be able to delve into the character traits of a Michelle Obama or Hillary Clinton.

If 'American Beauty' came out today, it wouldn't make nearly as much money.

I honestly don't want to act anymore.

I know what I don't want.

I'm not a practice religion freak. I didn't grow up in a religious family, but I have a faith.

That character called 'Robin Wright' in the movie called 'The Congress' has nothing to do with me... I've never felt that way about life choices, career, etc.
