My life has definitely changed since 'Modern Family.' The show has made me more responsible, I really want to be a good role model for all kids so I have to think about what I say and do and how it looks to other kids!

It was an instant weight lifted off my chest - both literally and figuratively.

Female empowerment really is important to me. I'm a big nerd of the books from the 15th Century and 16th Century, when the men had all the power and the women had none of it.

I've been the target of haters for so long, for so many years. Ever since I was a kid and I first started the show.

Im always practicing lines, researching, trying to be fresh, and fully trying to become the characters I play. Thats how I roll.

No matter what you look like or think you look like, you're special and loved and perfect just the way you are.

I had body insecurities when I was younger. I still do.
