I'd say a little over a year ago I started doing TM [Transcendental Meditation] and that's really changed everything.

As my doctor said, eventually your eyes do start to give out on you if you're not taking care of them.

I've never sat there and plotted out how I was going to become successful or famous.

When you accept a role in a pilot, you automatically sign up for five years. You think it's scary to walk down the aisle? Try signing a five-year contract for a show you may not want to be part of down the road.

When you try to avoid the pain, it creates greater pain.

I was told to avoid the business all together because of the rejection. People would say to me, 'Don't you want to have a normal job and a normal family?' I guess that would be good advice for some people, but I wanted to act.

I was just always the girl that people would come and talk to about their problems, and I still am.
