I loved being pregnant. I felt unapologetically curvy, sexy, and intensely feminine. After giving birth I joined the ranks of millions of new mothers when I moaned, 'Why do I still look pregnant?'

I think there was no other profession for me. I was either going into an insane asylum or to be an actor.

The amazing thing about becoming a parent is that you will never again be your own first priority.

A real feminist doesn't apologize for her beauty. You can be a sexy, beautiful woman and be the smartest person in the room.

I was a handful growing up.

I can never describe myself as a movie star. I don't know when that happens but it's certainly not me.

Cleanses and products don't make you look more beautiful. They certainly help, but if you reach contentment, you're set. My makeup artist, Melanie Iglesias, couldn't figure out why my skin looks so good. I think it's because I'm happy!
