I don't know anyone who was never a geek, really, when they look at their own lives. I think that from the outside looking in, you think that you weren't necessarily a tragic geek, but yes, you did lean in that direction.

I have always been drawn to child-related causes. I find that people listen to me more when I advocate for children now that I have my own.

Growing up where I did, the thought of working on a television show or in a movie... that existed on a parallel plane, you know?

I mean, I didn't ever watch 'Gilligan's Island' and think, 'Those people are actors.' I lived in West Virginia. Hollywood just felt like this total other universe.

I love the feeling of being on a team, rehearsing together, sharing a dressing room - I love that so much.

I wasn't a woman who stayed tiny like I thought I would. I definitely gave myself the freedom to eat what I wanted.

I try to eat in a way that makes me feel good. If that means a little bite of chocolate I do that, but I try not to use food as a reward for myself.
