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 love clothes that when you put them on, you feel like you. I don't care whether anyone else likes them.

My advice, Be healthy, reach your own goals and don't be afraid to impersonate a SNL star.

Let me just say that every cover of every magazine I've done has been airbrushed to death. No woman should walk around thinking that's what they should be. You shouldn't be beating yourself up.

What's good about talking about being victimized is that it is the beginning of being able to stop it.

People are always surprised by how much I love to eat. I guess I don't look like I eat that much, but I can put it away.

The decisions that we write off as momentary, insignificant, incidental, everyday encounters are exactly when we have a chance to define ourselves. To find beauty. To engage the world around us. To create memories.
