We've had four or five casts in three years. There was a point when I thought the Department of Children and Family Services was going to show up at my door!

I live alone with my one dog and they say it like it's a sad, it's a terrible thing. This woman lives alone with her two cats.

I'm in total celebrity denial in general, but there's awareness that probably if somebody has met you, they might go and tell somebody. I just would rather have the word on the street stay at a neutral, not like, "She shows up in a ball gown," but "She seemed nice." That's fine.

I take the kids skiing every year, and my husband doesn't always go. The way I grew up, that's very normal. My mom would take us skiing, but my dad hates cold weather.

I think it's pretty common for people to get excited when they meet somebody that they know from the media.

I always come across sounding like I hate my children. I actually love them very much.

I tell my kids, "Look, your life is a video game, and I have to get you from level zero to 18 as an independent person with all your skills and limbs intact. Every time you hit your brother or throw food, you're taking us all back."
