My family couldn't be more supportive. They're worried and they're always in my business, and my mother does send me grad-school applications every now and again.

I was really lucky. My gal pal was my mom.

I'm not so much surprised by the success of 'Ugly Betty' as I am feeling so blessed by it.

I couldn't have asked for a better kid. She's our own little Buddha baby so far. I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop to tell you the truth. It's like the calm before the storm.

Ugly Betty' has been the most important thing I've ever done, easily. I was able to do more with one character than I can ever imagine doing again - Hilda was hilariously funny and emotionally deep... I really got to showcase what I could do with a character.

I have a rescue dog named Fideo, which means 'noodle' in Spanish, and a cat named Hutch.

I spent my 30s figuring out how to be a grown up, I guess. I loved my 30s! My 30s were really about being happy with what I was doing.
