I can keep my head together in a crisis.
My ex-husband and I, even though we're not together, we are 100 percent together in raising our kid. We communicate a lot and where I drop the ball and need him to pick it up or vice versa, he's there.
My heart is in television, just because it's been so good to me.
Let me tell you, hitting 40 is not fun.
I don't think I've ever really pursued telling my story, but I think things come to you at the right time.
I really wish I could sing so I could front a band, because that would be a dream come true, totally. I want to sing. Can't do it though.
Most of the time I meet my trainer at the gym and we do a lot of everything: weights circuit with cardio, football drills, sprinting with weights on the treadmill.
I don't mind playing the same character, but if it's not well done, then I'm not interested.
There are so many heroes just walking around in everyday life. It blows me away.
Today my son and I went for a stroll and saw the sea lions and watched the sunset and played ball in the park with our dog.
Television is my home. It's a special breed of person that can do nine months on and three months off, with 22 episodes of one-hour shows. It's very hard work. It can be a grind. It's not a grind for me. I relish in that.
Nothing beats a really rough massage. I really hate a man who goes all limp when he's doing a massage. Who needs a soft massage? Just get in there and rub me hard or don't bother.
You can take the girl out of Vegas, but you can't take the Vegas out of the girl.
I've had the joy of working on critically acclaimed shows, but unfortunately, those shows aren't always in the Golden Globe or Emmy categories, which bums me out because they are really good, quality shows.
