I think we felt the pressure more at first than this time around. But still you don't want to let anyone down. I never even met Patrick until we had a Christmas party at Ian McKellen's house on the first movie and then I didn't see him again until the premiere.
Being a mom makes me feel whole and like I understand the meaning of life.
I try to break a sweat every day. It doesn't always happen that way, but that's the goal.
Making people laugh is the greatest experience.
Sometimes I'm so tired, I look down at what I'm wearing, and if it's comfortable enough to sleep in, I don't even make it into my pajamas. I'm looking down, and I'm like, 'T-shirt and stretchy pants? Yup, that's fine. It's pajama-y, good night.'
I'm a little top heavy, so I have to pay attention to that area. I think it was from my years of swimming in school when I was a kid and it just overdeveloped my upper body. In fact, when I started modeling, my back was so developed, I could not fit into any dresses.
I've been messing around in the studio the last couple of years. But I don't want to worry about being taken seriously as a singer. It just really feels good to do it.
I guess I can be a little neurotic sometimes, but can't everybody?
I get really bad plane bloat. Your body and your face and everything swells. I could never get rid of it. It stays with you.
I'm a diligent person, and that came directly from having hardworking parents.
I was never a girl who dreamed about what her wedding day would be like, but I've always dreamed about decorating my baby's nursery.
I'm not for gratuitous nudity, but if there's humor, I don't have a problem.
At first, the idea of doing a 90-minute workout in a 40 degree room sounded like torture. But the sweating is exactly what I became addicted to. My body changed dramatically almost immediately. Within three classes, I noticed less belly fat. My knees and legs are stronger than ever now; my arms have definition for the first time in my life; and my posture is much, much better. I also feel completely energized from all of the deep breathing. I leave class relieved of any anxiety I went in with, and the sweating and detoxifying make my skin feel great.
I really like listening to music when I'm hiking or exercising. I don't like hearing myself breathe.
