I've been a longtime advocate of farmworker rights.

On a television show, you basically make a movie a week. Movies take three months - it's crazy. They're so slow, it's like vacation to me.

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.

You don't need to know who I'm dating. You don't need to know what I'm doing. I'm fine with everybody not knowing that.

It's really important to have a healthy sexuality and to be open about it. It's not a taboo. It's normal.

My mom had four kids, one with special needs. She had a full-time job, and she still came home and made dinner for us every night, from scratch. It was amazing.

I'm very efficient and the people who work with me always say that - they know when they have a day with me it's going to be really exhausting because I love to fit as much in as possible.
