I would tell any actress that the trick is to play all the female characters on your show, and then all the men are yours.

I believe in myself, and I've always had people behind me who believed in me. With that, you can do anything.

It's been hard to be a show in L.A. and be trendsetting, because the fashions are in New York... Not to mention that most actresses are all, give or take, the same size, between five-two and five-five, and 95 to 125 pounds.

I think you either live a real life or you live a weird celebrity pseudolife. I think I lead a really real life.

The nomadic lifestyle does work for a lot of working parents, but I've traveled and I've seen it, and I want to be able to go home at night and see my daughter. I want to be there for her first day of school and her school recital. Honestly, television is what offers me that.

I clip coupons all the time. Why should you pay more for something that someone else is paying less for?

I am definitely a Type-A, tidy, everything-has-a-place kind of person, so initially encouraging a mess was against my nature. But once you realize all the benefits, it's pretty simple to let that go.
