~I got pregnant, and I was like, 'Oh God, it worked! Oh no!' Chris [Ivery, her husband] and I were super happy, then I got terrified! Will I know how to do everything right? Of course, nobody does everything right, but as long as your baby is the priority, that's the best you can do.~

It's easy to get lost in the baby. You have to make sure you give your husband attention.

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.

If I'm bringing joy to people and entertaining people as an actor, then I should be grateful for that and act accordingly, you know?

I am who I am, a Southie.

Being a mother is the most fun job I've ever had.

I just worry about the girls who look up to me. I don't want them to think I starve myself or don't eat, and that to be like me that's what they have to do.
