I was a child actor. I was this spaz kid diagnosed with ADHD, and I worked all the time.

I try to work out with my personal trainer for an hour, four times a week - we mainly concentrate on weights and running. If I'm on the road I sometimes do DVD work-outs in my hotel room - P90X and Insanity are a couple of my favourites.

What happens when you're a child professional is that you have to be, well, professional. You're taught not to have tantrums, to always people-please.

I work out all the time. Cardio, resistance and a lot of jogging. I love to go hiking. I'm going to invest this in myself, into my self-worth, into my self-esteem.

I remember having no money and debating whether I should go get fast food or eat at Mom's for free. Now I'm going to these fancy places on vacation and ordering room service. I treat myself because I remember not having it.

When you give people so much, you don't have anything left for yourself.

You can be a mother and still be completely sexy.
