[After the twins' birth,] I spent two years doing nothing. I was a wife and a mom. But you need that time to grow. You can't be afraid of, 'Oh, I'm out of the public, then I'm going to have to make a comeback.' It's ridiculous. No.

I had a healthy appetite [being pregnant]. I got more healthy as time goes on, and they grew. I never let myself go.

It's a real roller-coaster ride if you're lucky to have longevity in this business - you have to be able to ride those waves.

Until you value yourself enough and love yourself enough to know that, you can't really have a healthy relationship.

Don't push your weaknesses, play with your strengths

I don't regret what I've been through. I've had ups and downs, super highs and some really low lows. I've been so blessed that I could never say, "I wish this didn't happen." It's part of who I am. There's nothing in my life that's so ugh.

I think everything needs to be played real, for reality's sake, for truth. And that is the drama and the comedy. When you do that, it's funnier. And when you do that, you really do hit the emotional beats. I do it the same way as I do a drama. I just play it for truth, and then maybe have a little bit of fun with it sometimes.
