My son graduated high school and went to Haiti to work for his dad's organization and then extended his stay. It's incredible what he's doing.
If there's nothing for me to do as an actress, then that's frustrating. I'd rather go work at a menial labour job, where I can actually get my hands dirty.
Hollywood is difficult to navigate if you have integrity, so I opted not to work if there wasn't enough to do in a role, which doesn't have to do with the role's size.
I tell you, being on a soap is the hardest work, and it gets so old. Get on your mark, get in the light, don't turn too far upstage - that's all it is.
I always loved to dance and move. I probably should have been a mime or something like that.
I'm trying to do the paleo diet. No carbs.
I always wanted to get out of L.A., but time passes, and you find excuses to stay.
I'm not a practice religion freak. I didn't grow up in a religious family, but I have a faith.
I don't know enough about politics. I am out of the loop.
I think the inception of my interest in arts was when I was around 9 or 10 and I started dancing. I was really convinced that I was going to go to New York and be onstage in 'A Chorus Line.'
Famous is celebrityism, and I don't want that... I know that I'm not that. Everybody knows who you are. I can't imagine living that life, but I don't think I consider myself famous.
People buy box sets, and they sit for a whole weekend with a computer on their lap in bed, and they watch two seasons back-to-back of a show. They are invested in the person within that arc or the dynamics of those people - the relationships - and it doesn't matter to them if they're watching it on an iPhone or a cinema screen.
I have Spanx on. Always! I have to wear them all the time!
I have a house here in California and come back every month and a half to see my kids. And they come to New York.
