I didn't grow up wanting to become an actor at all. I wanted to be a sports trainer and I was actually an aerobics instructor.

Growing another life inside of you is one of the strangest, but most amazing feelings anyone can have.

I would say 80% of the scripts I get are dramas and not comedies or romantic comedies, which is funny because that's what I do every week.

I was a tomboy and any time anyone says something about me being hot, it makes me giggle.

I've always been business-minded. I worked in corporate America before becoming an actress and knew that acting wasn't the end but a means to an end. It gave me the platform and the exposure I needed to do my philanthropic work. It also gave me the financial security to focus on my other businesses, start new businesses, and even help other people start businesses.

I grew up on a ranch with my father, so he educated us really early on about guns. We used to go target shooting all the time.

When people call me a sex icon, it's flattering but it never goes to my head because I never felt sexy as a teenager.
