In the initial season of a show, you're figuring out your character and their life and their background and you're putting together all the chapters of the book.

Life throws some curveballs at you and you go where it takes you.

People care about my personal life. But really I'm dorky! I drink beer and go to football games. And ya know, sit in my house in a t-shirt on the weekends and play with my dog!

People like to say, “Well, you’re a celebrity. You should really pick a cause.” I felt that’s like telling a doctor, “Well, you should focus on one area of the body.” Current issues, global issues, political issues, women’s issues—whatever one you want to talk about. It’s systemic, you know?

My girlfriends are my life, but I'm also one of those girls who can hang out with the guys.

I'm not much of a revenge person, because I think when you start with revenge it cheapens what you've been through. My rule is to hold your head high and never stop looking that person in the eye, because they know and you know, and you're still the professional. And they can just feel like an ass for the rest of their lives. That's my favorite thing to do.

Getting wasted is only OK when you're young enough to not know better.
