There's just so much love that goes into home cooking, and I think it will really help the American family overall. I'm hoping to maybe get a cookbook out one day because I've got some great family recipes.

Both my parents are chefs I grew up in a restaurant and was always surrounded by cooks. I love food.

I'm trying to show I'm a trained actress - I can transform myself into different characters. I'm not just an ingenue.

I love doing TV. It's so great for my world as a mom, as someone who likes to have a steady job and go to work feeling secure because I'm with a family.

I've loved all forms of animation.

I've always dreamed that George Lucas would call me one day and ask me to be in one of the 'Star Wars' films.

When I grew up in Pittsburgh in my parents' restaurant, I was almost like a country bumpkin.
