I went up a pants size during my pregnancy.

I was raised by drag queens, practically ... my mother died when I was four-years-old, so I was effectively raised by a bunch of different people. A lot of those people were friends of my sister, Kathleen, who had all these gay friends. She would baby-sit me everyday, and she would take me over to her friend's houses with all kinds of things going on: tucking, and eyebrow drawing, waxing, all sorts of things. I was literally raised by gay men.

This is Hollywood. People don't admit mistakes.

People love to watch a train wreck, I suppose.

Cancer is something that touches everyone's lives.

Where I come from, you don't just say, 'Oh, I'm going to become an actor.' Talk like that and they think you're crazy.

Acting can be an amazingly cathartic thing - especially for young girls.
