I've always liked being funny and making people laugh. I was a cut-up when I was a kid, and was always doing bits for my friends and family.
For me, coming to work and laughing is so much more preferable than coming to work and having to cry over a corpse or something. That's a drag.
It's so hard to find the time. I only have one kid and it's hard with one kid. I can't imagine people who have more than that.
I like starting off the new year fresh. I'm excited to see how 2013 turns out. Maybe because I'm an actress and I am always on a diet and fitness program, but my New Year's resolution is to let myself be nice to myself about my body.
I never underestimate the power of hot rollers for your hair and eyelash curlers for your eyelashes.
I love my nose! I was so nervous when I got pregnant that I was going to get that weird nose spread that you sometimes see pregnant ladies get.
The rugs that I picked out and the pillows with the little owls, sort of like whimsical throw pillows - I feel like you can never enough whimsical throw pillows in your house, in your life. My husband probably disagrees.
I don't believe in guilty pleasures. If you enjoy something, there's nothing guilty about it.
I love little Peter Pan collars and little puff sleeves.
I just take jobs that will have me. I'm an actress that works. I'm not an actress who's ever waited.
I have to make a dress out of recycled materials for my kid's preschool 'Project Runway'-like assignment. I'm currently fusing plastic bags.
It gets super dark. I did a bunch of intense indie movies when I was starting out in my career and I was always in a bad mood because, when you're dealing with the subject matter of losing your baby, getting raped and all that stuff, it's not fun to go through. You really have to go there.
I would never be on a reality show.
It's ludicrous that my friends in California aren't able to legally get married. It's a civil rights issue. In 20 years we're going to look back at tapes of these antigay people saying ridiculous things on the news and it's going to sound as antiquated as the newsreels of horrible racists from the '50s.
