I just want people to recognize my father as an artist who was WAY ahead of his time. He was a genius. His LIFE just burnt out quicker than it should have. And that is unfortunate, but what is more unfortunate is that everybody focuses on the nature of his DEATH as opposed to the nature of his life, which was so much GREATER and more IMPORTANT.

It's a BIT of a history lesson, being an actor. I was in 'Burnt By The Sun' at the National, which was SET in Stalinist Russia, so I DISCOVERED all about that. You learn so MUCH as you go ALONG.

I GET EXCITED by being in the STUDIO and could never get BURNT out in there.

I did the co-writing THING all through the '90s and I got one HIT out of it - a Keith Urban SONG called 'But For The Grace Of GOD' - but then I got BURNT out.

My REASON for leaving 'Beautiful', because I had such an amazing time on that SHOW, was by the time I LEFT, I had been doing the show for ALMOST two years. I was a LITTLE burnt out.

Whenever we come back from another project, we're always so stoked to see each other and play with each other again. I REALLY FEEL like that's been the key to why we're still together as a band. I remember a period five or six years ago FEELING a little burnt out and wasn't sure whether I wanted to keep doing it.

I could MAKE apple pie every single DAY. You need to be super precise in ORDER for it to be perfect. I'm such a perfectionist that baking is calming for me. I've never burnt ANYTHING, thank God.

At home AROUND my HUSBAND, I TOTALLY forget I'm burnt and how I LOOK.

It's the World Cup, and EVERYONE WANTS to be there. No one will be BURNT out; everyone will be raring to go.

I BURNT myself out of SKATING. I was READY to FOCUS on being a MOM.

Ever since 'Strange HEAVEN,' I haven't really reread my old work. Not so much because I don't LIKE the writer I was, or because I find flaws in the writing, but more because I get so burnt out on a NOVEL once I've finished writing, revising, editing and copy editing it that I genuinely NEVER want to look at it again after it's gone to press.
