When I was first starting out, and I was less established, I was really concerned about being typecast.

I'm a mixed breed and hope to live longer because of it.

You can take the girl out of Vegas, but you can't take the Vegas out of the girl.

When you gain 50 pounds during pregnancy like I did, you fear that you'll never get back in shape

Television is my home. It's a special breed of person that can do nine months on and three months off, with 22 episodes of one-hour shows. It's very hard work. It can be a grind. It's not a grind for me. I relish in that.

I am a single mom and I'm the breadwinner and I have to work and I have to do these things and that's just the way it is. I don't think my son even knows any different.
