I'm stronger and sassier as a redhead.

Sometimes I hope that through osmosis I might get a workout - just by wearing the clothes.

I'm not a clean freak. My house is a mess.

For me, my 20s were all about reaching for the brass ring of work in theater, television, and film, surviving in between by waiting tables, painting houses, serving coffee, and temping. Show less «

I have always been the girl who keeps on trying. I try! I try!

I've got four roommates and they all have fur and tails.

I'm lucky. I've got pretty good genes.

You never want to rest on your laurels. You want to keep doing things that terrify you.

My very first job was a cashier at Burger King in Tucson, Arizona. And I occasionally worked the drive-thru. I'd go wherever I was needed! My second job was at Dairy Queen. I stayed in the fast food royalty. Show less «

I think a lot of people just aren't aware how young you can be and be diagnosed with breast cancer.

I like to eat right and in moderation, but give myself treats and kind of have everything.

I drink tons of water. When you're puffy, you think you can't drink water since you feel more bloated and gross but that's what you do to get the toxins out of your system. I put a little lemon in the water bottle that I carry around with me or drink a cup of hot water with lemon. It's a natural diuretic. Show less «

I still like to make crank calls.

There are lots of different ways for women to be a mom in this culture.

Acting was all I ever really wanted to do.

I don't like to take a lot of stuff since I'm really sensitive to medications.

I used to skip breakfast, but eating gets my metabolism going, so I burn more calories all day.

I don't need someone with a hot body. He can be fat or overweight and have a belly. It's very much about style and substance and humor, interest, curiosity and really being smart. Show less «

I would definitely love to be a parent.

I loved campaigning for Obama.

I've learned over and over that life happens on its own terms, not mine.

I second-guess myself all the time. I make a decision and then wonder if I made the wrong choice.

I do Pilates, and hike with my dog.

I don't think anyone gets married thinking that they will get divorced.

I struggle with control.

People always say you can't do a red lip if you have red hair but I've never shied away from it. I think you can absolutely do that. It's more about hair colour and complexion. Show less «

I've done every diet there is.

My mother is Italian and my dad's Irish. In my family, we're expressive. Nobody holds back.
