I have a reputation of taking on things that terrify me, but they also excite me and challenge me. I'm very interested in learning about different kinds of women and how their lives work, and giving voice to that. And it's a good time to tell these stories because there is an audience hungry for them — an audience that has the time to watch and invest in these characters.

I am a true faithful fan of Turner Classic Movies. It was such a bond for me and my mom when I was a kid to stay up late and watch The Million Dollar Movie [TV series featuring classic films]. Everyone else would be in bed, and she and I would be on the couch watching these great films unfold: noirs, musicals, dramas, comedies. She had such a wide knowledge and vocabulary of films, and I really got my love of entertainment from her. What she won t compromise on
The number one thing is sleep. If you don't have enough sleep, you're going to have a tough time. Getting addicted to unplugging
I always wanted to “go there and do that.” Now I want to do less on the weekends: talk to friends, see an old movie, be a bit of a couch potato. Stay in bed a little longer or all day in my pajamas. Just really unplug — which is hard to do because when your work is going well, you're tempted to do more. RELATED: Getting a little cabin fever right about now? We thought so, which is why our critics rounded up the best movies that take place in our favorite vacation destinations. Leaving the fitness frenzy behind
I'm a child of the Jane Fonda revolution of working out, but now I realize I don't have to bang myself up as much. I do a lot of stretches and long walks. I love to swim, especially in lakes. It's more about being easier on myself at this point. Where you ll find her
I love, love the outdoors. I have a house on Vancouver Island, which is my passion. We're resurrecting an old property there and making it ours. On filming Filthy Rich in New Orleans
It's a great city — a loving, welcoming city. The weather is fantastic. I just have to get used to coming out of the house and having my glasses get all steamed up. Homegirl vibes
I don't like to live in hotels. I like to rent an apartment or a little house that has a patio so I can have some kind of grounding. Going full tourist and proud of it
The first thing I do when I get to a new place is take one of those bus tours to get the lay of the land. I'm up high and I can see everything around me. If I'm in a car, I can't see as much. I love someone telling me the history of their city — anecdotes about what happened where and when. An old churchyard here, a ghost over there. Superpower confession
My curiosity has always been my saving grace and my superpower. I still find such wonder in learning something: a recipe or a spice I never knew of, or more about the New Orleans accent, even. It's so beautiful! More on TV for Grownups
