I love Dexter. I love Top Chef. I can't wait for it to come back. I love Friday Night Lights. I think TV is in a great place right now. It's definitely getting better and better. I think there is some of the most complete writing for women and female characters, they're done in television production and not really film production.

I took prenatal yoga three times a week, including the morning I went into labor. It helped me stay comfortable.

I used to sleep nude - until the earthquake.

I think that the celebrity is a really important thing, because we have the voice that's recognizable, that can educate people to make a difference and empower them to make a difference, and to also get things in motion with the people in charge that can effect change.

Baseball is my escape. The sights, the sounds, the way the park smells. There is truly no place I would rather be than at a game.

Our bodies are made to nurture and cuddle and all of those amazing things that come along with being a mom.
