Reese Witherspoon is my everywoman. She's managed to have a family and this amazing career. That's the goal.

My career has been successful, but it's been a grind of hard work.

When I look up and see a star, I know my mom is there. She's with me all the time. It's a powerful connection.

I don't know why, but in my career and in my life, I often find myself in situations where I am the only girl among boys.

My mom was an aesthetician and she went to beauty school back in the '60s. I just remember watching her do her makeup all the time. She always had her nails done, makeup on - her face was ready to go when she went out. I loved it.

I'm this little Canadian Jewish girl, and I'm living my dream.
