I live up in the hills and I have dogs, so it is my responsibility to get them out and walk with them and I love being outside and I go on lots of hikes. I think it's good mentally to do that as well as physically.

I was very poor and I was a waitress, and it's hard to be a poor waitress in New York.

I'd wanted to be an actress my whole life, that was my goal, that was all I cared about.

Dogs are very, very pleasant with people that they're connected to.

My golden retriever, Callie, is so easy to please. She finds great pleasure in our day-to-day routine, which helps me to enjoy the simple things. She loves to jump on the couch with her favorite toys and roll around while I clap my hands.

I may not be perfect, but I'm trying.

As an actress, there's nothing worse than not knowing your cues.
