What has surprised me most about being a celebrity is the fascination with pregnant women. After I had Rocco, the paparazzi came and sought me out. I never had that before. There's a whole industry, literally, based on people having children. I guess because you're changing, putting on weight. It makes me very uncomfortable. I didn't enjoy that much at all.

I think it's important to keep an element of fear about yourself because it makes you appreciate the jobs.

Being an actor is mostly about rejection and being out of work. It was a fast lesson in all of that stuff.

I have to rein myself in sometimes.

How competitive am I? A healthy amount. I have four siblings. It was competitive just eating dinner, like, "Everyone, get what you want from the chicken." Plus competing for your parents' attention.

Here in L.A. the standard of beauty is kind of ridiculous. I want to be doing this when I'm in my fifties and sixties and this isn't what I'm going to look like.

TV is a completely different discipline, which I think I am still learning about. You just have to learn how to work fast and pace yourself.
