Women now, we can juggle a lot of things. We're not just girlfriends or love interests. So that's really great to not just make her the chick and give her something to do.
Actors used to carry films because people would have to actually go to the movies to see them. It was the only place. But now there's none of that mystique, and so there's less of a reason to buy a ticket.
I have a four-month-old and I also have a toddler, so that takes up all of my time.
A lot of my social media posts are about celebrating these women who wear our clothes, feel great in them and have comments.
I have a cosmetics line in Walgreens. It's exclusively at Walgreens.It's called Circa and it's basically prestige cosmetics that are at drug-store prices.
It's tapping into something so deep that when I reap the rewards, I do not even know I'm reaping them. It's a more overall kinda thing.
Rejection is good for the soul.
I don't usually lose my temper, but if I get angry, it's true - I'm scary.
I talk about therapy a lot because I love therapy. It has just enriched my life.
'Anchorman' is my favorite movie of all time and Ron Burgundy is one of my favorite characters of all time. It's my 'Gone With the Wind.'
Once we got the scene down, we were told to improv.
