Personal Quotes

As you get older, it's nice to be able to relax a bit about your appearance. Writing does that for me. It comes from inside me, from my brain and from my heart, and hopefully it has much more value than anything that's on the exterior.

The Emma Samms persona is a suit I put on for work. Who I really am is the wife and mother and daughter and sister and friend.
