Of course I wanted an agent from the time I was like 5, but my mother was like, 'No, you're going to be normal, you're going to go to school, you're going to get good grades, you're going to play soccer, and if you do well, if you keep your grades up, you can do one community-theater show a year.'

Usually, the roles that you get offered that are the mom roles are very much the mom role.

I'm excited about becoming a transmedia storyteller. The idea that we can tell the 'Agent Mom' story online with MTV Comics and build a fan base that we can take over to Paramount to discuss turning that story it into a movie is just awesome.

For as long as I've been acting, I have been very lucky to be paired with really great actresses playing my mom.

It's very nice having my mum as my agent. You know that she's always doing what's best for you.

It's kind of interesting to be a director who is all of a sudden being an actor playing an agent. This is my whole world!

I'm happy with the idea of being a mum first and an actress second - I'm perfectly content for people to think of me as a stay-at-home mum, rather than an actress, if that is their perception.

As an actress, you're already disregarded for a lot of the parts by the people who are setting up those shows. You don't need your agent to be doing the same.

My father was an actor, and my mother was his agent, so I had it on both sides: the crazy actor and his representation.

I'm sure my agents would like me to play leading roles, and I guess I should, but I'm more interested in the character parts. They're more fun, challenging and interesting.
