I wanted to be a marine biologist my whole life until I graduated high school.

Before I did 'How I Met Your Mother,' I was not considered a comedic actress.

I feel very jealous towards women who can say, "I'm going to stay home and be a mom." I wish that's what fulfilled me but I like to work and I have to have something for myself.

I'm a big fan of a lot of graphic novels - 'Fables,' 'Y: The Last Man' and 'The Walking Dead,' which I like a lot more.

You become responsible for a human being, and a lot of people talk about how they've never felt love like this before. You hear all these things before you have a child, and they're all kind of true. It's just dealing with the overwhelming responsibility of like I'm the protector of this child that affected me the most.

I wanted to be a marine biologist my whole life until I graduated high school. And even now, I'm still like, 'Maybe I'll just quit the biz and go to Santa Cruz and study marine biology and have my own research center in the Bahamas.' Yeah, I'm sure it would be just that smooth.
