I have so many single girlfriends who fit themselves into the mold of what they think a guy's looking for. But being comfortable around men is about being comfortable with yourself. They gravitate toward confidence. Really, that is what they want to be around.

I would really love to sit with Kathryn Hepburn because I find her so interesting.

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 think that being a mom has made me a better person. I'm much more patient and much more chill than I was before.

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

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.
