I feel like I'm a stay-at-home mom, which I was for the five years before this. She's absolutely been my focus. That's the choice I made. Desperate Housewives is perfect for me. I get to go back to work and still be able to take my daughter to school and pick her up.

I feel more comfortable with myself now. I don't know if I feel sexier. I feel more whole.

It is a great honor for me to be presented the award by Mikhail Gorbachev and also to be acknowledged with the World Actress Award at the Women World Awards Gala 2005.

I am all about health and to me size is not what defines your health.

Tired people aren't witty

Patience is the only way you can endure the gray periods.

I am blessed to be able to work at a job I love and also give back in the most vital way - to people in need.
