I've always had an interest in design, and I have always loved creating things.
The process of doing films is not my favorite, but I love television. Television is a quicker turnaround. You shoot more during the day, which makes me feel more productive. It would be like, 'I did five scenes today and ten pages.' That's television.
The truth is that I love my baby to bits, but the rest of it sucked. Pregnancy was the biggest killer for me. I hated it - I hated being fat.
I think it's sexy when women have shapely bodies.
Jason Lee and Ethan Suplee are like my brothers. If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't have gotten through my pregnancy.
We're making light of all the serious, politically correct stuff that society has created. Basically, Earl redeems himself (after) the mistakes he has made in judging people.
I'm a really good cook. I left home to start my career at 15 - so my choices were to either learn to cook or eat Ramen noodles for the rest of my life.
I have a really great group of fans. I've been very blessed.
I don't know anybody that has a teenage son or daughter who at some point hasn't been like, 'God, I hate them' just under their breath. It's not meant to be literal. It's funny.
I don't have one specific dream role: I'm an actor, so I want to play everything. In this business, they'll pigeonhole you in two seconds if you're great at the role you play. Everyone assumes that you're really just like that character.
Everything I did and continue to do happens for a reason, and honestly, I don't regret much in my life.
So many Hollywood actresses become successful and then just keep on going - they miss out on having a partner and a baby and end up lonely.
She's such a ballsy broad because she really doesn't know any better. She has no fear, and you never know what's going to come out of her mouth, so she's never boring.
I used to perform with the Pussycat Dolls before Nicole Scherzinger, before they were a musical group.
