Actress and dancer Keri Russell was born March 23, 1976 in Fountain Valley, California.

• "One girl spit on me because I was the new kid in school. But mostly, I was pretty normal-not excessively popular. I definitely wasn't a hottie, big-boobed cheerleader. It didn't help that I looked 12 years old the entire four years."




• "Dance is definitely what I love doing much more than anything else."




• "My best friends in life are people who admit they don't have everything figured out, no matter what age they are, I hope I never stop doing that either."




• "I think what scares me so much is that most actors are just so sad. If you think, you know, winning some award or being on these talk shows is going to make you feel good, it's not. This business is crawling with people who use it to define their self-worth. That's why so many actors are alcoholics. They have no life outside of this. It's like, 'Get a hug' literally!"




• "Maybe years from now I'll be on a ranch in Colorado with ten kids. The whole point of life is to experience a little bit of everything, and I think it's better when there are a few surprises thrown in."




• "I'm just trying to constantly do things that interest me. I don't think everyone wants to do the same job day in and day out. They're all such individual experiences and all totally worth having."




• "Sometimes it's the smallest decisions that can change your life forever."
