When you live in America, it's kind of insular - the news coverage that you get - unless you're really smart about it and find more international news coverage. I've learned that from my husband. In the French culture, they talk politics.

I had this roommate in college who would get up almost 2 hours before class to do hair and makeup. That's not for me.

I have an incredible role model in my mom. She was a single mother raising two kids in New York.

When I started 'Third Watch,' I knew I was going to be with the firefighters and lifting, so I was doing yoga, running, and swimming - all at the same time. I didn't have a kid then. Now I don't have time for that. I want to spend time with my son and my husband, so it's mainly just yoga now.

My mom has always been a huge inspiration. She was a single mom raising two kids in New York. Now that is full-on all the time.

When I need a break from the boys, I go with my girlfriend to buy pretty little dresses for her daughter.

Maybe because I didn't have a huge film career right off the bat, I've been able to create something different, which is so important to me. That's myself, my idea of who I am.
