You have to surround yourself with people who love you and want the best for you.

A year or so ago I went through all the people in my life and asked myself: does this person inspire me, genuinely love me and support me unconditionally? I wanted nothing but positive influences in my life.

One of the things you learn being in the public eye is that you have the ability to raise awareness about serious issues, and, in the process, really help people.

Working in television, many times you read a script, you work on the pilot, and then you play the waiting game to see if you're able to make it a series.

Sometimes I don't feel like the person that I'm supposed to be. I don't feel like I deserve any of this.

I've chosen to get the word out to women, especially young women, that tobacco is not glamorous - it's addictive and smoking takes a serious toll on your health.

Though I've turned 21, I don't drink. I'm an old hag now. I'm just an old fart.
