I've always wanted to be a dad.

I'm into being a dad, that's where my focus is most of the time. I'm an actor that's my job, but it's not my life. I have a lot of other interests too.

Usually I go to the studio to write lyrics and compose music. I try to be a dad as much as possible at home.

I love making movies, but I was ready to rationalize being only a mother if my career never got back on track.

I grew up wanting to be a painter and paint pictures.

When I was a teenager, my dad watched my films and told me I could go to art college and study animation. He made me see that I could do this for a living.

Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to make films. That's really all I ever wanted to do.

Growing up, I was on film sets occasionally, when my dad was acting, so I got to run around and do odd jobs on films like 'Labyrinth' and others... I seemed destined to make films.

My dad couldn't connect to my wanting to be a filmmaker. He was very connected in entertainment, and through him I met Steven Spielberg and got rides on his private plane to California. I'd see Spielberg's people reading scripts. I was like, 'That's what I want to be when I grow up.'
