We're all connected. Helping another woman is helping yourself, your mother, your sister, your children.

I'm a size 8, and I feel proud of that, because it's healthy. I've never felt compelled to be a skinny actress.

Losing my mother at such an early age is the scar of my soul. But I feel like it ultimately made me into the person I am today; I understand the journey of life. I had to go through what I did to be here.

I want to be a fun mom. Not a gasping for air mom.

The only reason I have the career I have is that I didn't quit.

Sexual assault and domestic violence are difficult things to talk about. Talk about them anyway.

The message I got from my father was that life is hard, but you just don't quit. I am grateful that I didn't let fear get the best of me. It only holds you back from possibilities and greatness. You've got to kick fear to the side, because the payoff is huge.
