I like to stay in the rhythm of things. My maternity leave will be a few weeks long, and I'll work throughout it.
I don't feel like my career path has changed.
I've already overcome a lot of things in my career, and if I don't fight in the UFC anymore, for sure I'm gonna find other ways to keep growing my legacy.
There is no reason why marriage should necessarily compel an actress to forego her career.
Don't worry about me. I plan to continue to be in show business. I have already been booked to be in a production of 'The Sunshine Boys' with Jay Leno.
When I do become the champion, I'll still be a fire fighter.
As an actor, you can't be off the market for too long.
I look at it like this, this is what keeps me going: You see a lot of guys who are being traded and they get waived once they get to the team. That's never happened in my career. So once I've gotten traded, I've been able to sustain a role. I've been wanted.
I think it's really important to remember that it's a long life, and it's a long career. In a perfect world, your career will be long. It does not begin and end with any one job. The point is to continue to have longevity in your career.
I could not finance a movie on my own. Frankly, I could not even afford to take a year off. I, like most people in America, need to keep making money.
I want to be around for a long time. I don't want to be a one-hit wonder.
My father is my father, and I am me. I have the advantage of this honest comparison, quiet, and the opportunity to share in his profession.
There is no doubt in my mind that I was going to do what my father did, but it wasn't kind of a family-business thing.
I just appreciate still having the longevity that I've had in my career.
This is not a change of career for me. Just an expansion of it. I have contracts and obligations and business partners who are counting on me. And I would only want to do another movie if it's as good as this one.
Everyone has bad matches or bad segments into their careers, if you get through it, you know there is going to be another segment another day.
I had prepared myself for the second half of my life [to be] filled with other passions that don't include being in front of the camera. And then all of a sudden I got more work and more work and more work. And I went, "Well maybe things have shifted." And I think they have.
I've always shied away from 'Where are they now?' shows, because I've been lucky enough to keep working, and people know where I am.
I am quite happy to take a cut. You've got to, if you want to work and continue working.
I'm not saying that I'm going to retire from game development altogether.
If people liked seeing me in loverboy roles, I don't intend to break that.
That's how I digest it, 'cause I can press the fast-forward button and I know that I'm gonna have to continue to be an actor, continue to make choices, continue to perform in a show every week.
Whether you're working in corporate America or you're a journalist, construction worker, a teacher or an actor - we're all trying to keep working. If one job is ending, you look for another job. When 'Psych' ends, I will be looking for another job.
I am very blessed to have this experience of being a parent, but do not negate me from this industry because I am a parent.
I'm too busy looking for the next role to do. I think about how to continue, to survive in the same vein. I like my career and my life as it is.
