Imagination is the true magic carpet.

I live a dual life. On the red carpet it's complete glam. But at home I'm a jeans and T-shirt kind of girl. Simple can be beautiful.

I have a life that I enjoy I try and value the things that I think are worth valuing and everything else is icing. You know it is a kick to go down the red carpet in that dress and then you go back home.

I like making things. I have a wood shop at home. I am a terrible carpenter but I love doing it.

I really hate the duties of being a celebrity like getting dressed up for the red carpet.

Like a lot of you I grew up in a family on the ragged edges of the middle class. My daddy sold carpeting and ended up as a maintenance man. After he had a heart attack my mom worked the phones at Sears so we could hang on to our house.

I am a child of Hollywood and dreams. To me to be on the red carpet is the best place in the world.

My dad was a carpenter and I would work with him during the summer and umpire on the nights I wasn't playing.

I come from an ordinary family - my dad is a carpenter a roof-maker - and we've always loved racing together.

All of us have moments in our lives that test our courage. Taking children into a house with a white carpet is one of them.
