My mom had me at 16 and took me every place she went. I remember going on peace marches. She tried to take me to Woodstock - it was pouring rain. It was on my birthday, and I was crying so much in the car they turned the car around and dumped me at my grandmother's house... I had a little attitude.
I haven't always had the money rolling in. I'm a character actor; it's not like I'm Gwyneth Paltrow - so I do have hard times still in my life. And that's even more why it's like you know what, I'm not that different from people going through it. I struggle; I look for a better deal at the grocery store.
I used to live above Manganaro's, when old Times Square was still peaking, and it still had a lot of diners and theaters on the forty deuce, as they used to call it. It was full of character. And it wasn't Disneyland. Now it's so touristy and full of bright lights, I can't stand it. It's like going to a big mall.
My husband has the philosophy that if you can work a Nintendo control, you can chop an onion. So, we have our children in the kitchen. We sit down every night for dinner. We're trying to give our kids a sense of what's going into their bodies, and it's also good for family time.
My mother was really young when she had me, so she was a horrible cook, but we lived with my grandmother, who was fantastic. We eventually got our own place, and my mother started learning to cook. But it was also the '70s, so she was very experimental, and, well - thank God we had a dog.
My husband is from Florence. And he has a 15th-century barn that is completely rustic and very 'Green Acres'-like.
You know, you kind of lose some self-confidence after having kids because you'll never be the way you were. But I feel good.
For holidays, I like doing special cheery touches around the table, like color-coordinating the plates and napkins to fit the theme.
My wrists, which are tattooed with my daughters' names, are always occupied by a watch.
I have a very high metabolism, and I have to constantly eat to keep on going.
I have this fear of coming across as a Barbie doll who got lucky. Style is a big part of who I am, but it's not who I am. Ya know?
I was born and raised in Queens and moved into the city as a young adult. Then I ended up acting and decided to run off to California.
I'm a girl who's curvy, and I'm Latvian, but I don't have hips, and I have a tiny waist.
I've had high-powered publicists in my career, and I've had publicists when they've had no power. I've run the gamut.
