Tune in to Kids and Family Week is perfect for me.
The whole reason Sabrina came about was because we wanted something good for families to watch on TV.
Sabrina ran for seven years with a different director every week.
Delightful as teenage witch-in-training Sabrina.
I'd always done family-friendly stuff. I wanted to do a film where I could show my darker side and make people uncomfortable.
I used to go to school in Manhattan with a bunch of the City Kids.
I think a lot of the problem is that at 8 o'clock there's nothing on for kids.
I rescued a dog. It was a beautiful.
I have six sisters, so I assumed I'd have a girl. Learning I was having a boy was really weird.
I love directing. It's where my heart is, and it's the way my mind works.
I hope to do films. Right now I'm just doing projects that are interesting.
I don't know enough about daytime, I think, to say anything.
I don't think I'm great at acting. I think I'm great at directing.
I didn't get married. I do have a boyfriend. We live together.
Every prop, every shot, every pearl that rolled across the floor was exactly how I wanted it to be.
Eventually, everyone said, Why don't you direct? It would save time. And that's how it started.
When I was shooting Drive Me Crazy, I wanted to go out with the rest of the cast and stay up late and play air hockey. I just wanted to have fun.
If I'm going to do something a little bit more adult, I'll do it if it's going to be on at a different time slot or if it's going to be something that kids won't be able to get their hands on
There was a big question as to whether or not different generations have grown up differently
I'm singing background on one of Blondie's songs on her new album
When I shared a room with my sister Trisha, we drew a line down the middle. She had Laura Ashley stuff with flowers everywhere, and her whole side of the room was white, while my side of the room was painted, freaky and covered with stuff.
It's hard when you look a certain way. I look All-American, sweet, girl-next-door, so naturally those are the parts that are going to land on my doorstep.
I'm a pretty open person. Like, if I have good sex, then the next day I'm going to tell everyone I know about it.
Comedy's easy for me now - it's all about timing and the way you deliver lines. I use facial expressions to get the point across.
If they [Playboy] could promise me it wasn't camera-between-my-knees kind of shots, I would do it. I would do topless. I think it's empowering. Though if my mother had a real big problem with it, I'd have to say no right now.
I get pressure from my audience and my agents to be a 'good girl,' and I'm in the public eye, so if I mess up, it's going to be all over the place.
I hate everything about traveling but I love to explore new locations so I wish I could snap and arrive somewhere whenever the need or impulse would arise.
I'm calling from my car, I'm sorry, I'm like running around like crazy.
My career has always revolved around what I do and don't want my sisters and brothers seeing me doing
This is the first time in my life I've had hair this short. It's always been down to my waist. I can't hide behind my hair any more
We had about seven real cats at any one time on the set, and two animatronic, (one that sits and one that lays down) and two stuffed animal type cats that we used for rehearsals or any sort of silly torture we had to instill on the poor guy.
Kids aren't going to understand single life in New York City
In the Emperor's New Clothes, they got a different celebrity to do each voice. They drew up a picture of each character and then each actor wrote their own part
When I first got pregnant, I freaked out. Then I had to remind myself: I'm turning 30
People tend to turn to the type of entertainment that has an escapism quality.
I'm not a happy-ending person. I want to know what happens once Cinderella rides off with Prince Charming.
I put a drop of lavender essential oil on my pillow before I go to sleep.
I experimented with weed, Ecstasy, mushrooms and mescaline for about a year and a half.
