My whole life, I've wanted to feel comfortable in my skin. It's the most liberating thing in the world.

Instead of being insecure and jealous and suspicious and wonder if every guy is going to cheat on me, I decided to say, "Nope. This will be totally enough for somebody one day." That was a real script flip and it changed the rest of my life in such a positive way. So I feel like I want to teach stuff like that to my girls.

Everything I touched in the kitchen turned out crappy, no matter how closely I followed the recipe or copied the cooking show.

I'm not after fame and success and fortune and power. It's mostly that I want to have a good job and have good friends; that's the good stuff in life.

There's something liberating about not pretending. Dare to embarrass yourself. Risk.

If I read something that's really intense and depressive, I will face it; I will try - but there's plenty of times I also run away. I think it's trying to find a balance between the positive and the negative. They don't exist without each other. It's the polarity; it's two sides of a coin. You can't get one without the other. I don't wallow. I can't stand it.

My mother and I split ways when I was very young and have never really reconciled.
