Before you're a mom you don't know what gear is going to be relevant.

I feel like 'CSI: Miami' was just a license to do all sorts of horrible things that I'd always wanted to do.

My cat, Kevin, has adorable habits - he waits for me while I'm showering because he loves to have his face washed when I'm done. And he also knows I keep treats for him beside the bed; he loves his treat at night before he goes to sleep - you know, like all men!

Rob Lowe is a sportsman and a ladykiller and it's impossible to be in a scene with him and not immediately begin to play tennis.

I've always known I was adopted.

Getting pregnant wasn't easy, and I found that devastating. I really beat myself up for waiting so long when I'd always wanted children and family had been the basis of my happiness my whole life.

It's so nice after 10 years as a blond actress in Hollywood to have people let you do smart things.
