The second you go back to eating right, you're going to put that weight on. You eat one piece of bread and you are screwed, lady!
I'm for all the actor's struggle, the self-indulgent, painful journey, but I would rather have fun.
Oh my gosh, I’d give so much advice to a younger version of myself. I would say it really does get better as you get older. The things that mean so much, the things that seem like, you know, it’s going to cause the end of the world, are all things that I’ve already forgotten.
I love Valentine's Day! I love it, I love it, I love it. I like having doors opened for me. My favorite romantic comedy is When Harry Met Sally...
I only wear heels when a stylist puts me in them.
I made some friends at Listerine and they taught me a little bit about oral care. That half of adults suffer from oral disease, that the number one chronic disease among children is oral disease, that we're only taking care of 25% of our mouths when brushing alone and there are more germs in your mouth than there are people on the planet.
I can safely say that other than macaroni and cheese, there's no processed food in my life. There's no inorganic food in my life these days. There's no junk food. There's not a lot of sugar. There's no soy. I mean, really everything that's going into my body is pretty pure.
A lot of times, I think that what I do for a living has no integrity. 'Once Upon A Time' has changed that to a certain extent because the reaction we get from children out in the world is so fulfilling, I cannot even articulate it. There's nothing like being greeted as Snow White by a hyperventilating child versus Ginnifer Goodwin.
I understand why society, especially American society, is gravitating toward fairy tales, given our economy. We've been exploring the world of witches and wizards for years. We've been exploring the world of vampires for years. Clearly the public - I mean, I feel like all of this was ushered in by 'Harry Potter' - in my own fannish beliefs.
I think of clothes a lot like costumes. I think of what I wear in real life as being my real life character's costume.
I perpetuate rumors that I've dated people that I've never actually dated.
Couldn't start the morning without caffeine.
I come from theater, and doing period stuff is so whimsical and imaginative and so outside any frame of reference than I have ever had so I prefer that just in terms of fun factor.
I’m a better person in a relationship, and I’m a happier person. I need to come home at the end of the day and have it not be about me and my freaking hair and makeup and character motivations anymore. And I think my work is more inspired when home is safe and sound and solid, because what I do for a living is so bananas and so insecure.
I want to work endlessly and tirelessly until I'm an old, old lady.
I think most people know inherently that good wins.
At 9 years old I weighed about 10 lbs. less than what my weight is at 32. I needed to get help.
Forget what you are supposed to do, do what you want to do.
I don’t ever want to be in a hurry. I want to enjoy the moments.
People always say a script will be 'brought to life in a magical way,' but for me that has been proven wrong time and time again.
I was hoping to be a healthy example, because we can't all look like all of these actresses and the models you see on the covers of magazine. And they aren't doing it healthfully anyway, I promise you. And I could not believe the backlash. I could not believe that people twisted and turned that story - and accused me of having body image issues or an eating disorder. And then someone explained to me that most people on the planet probably don't know what Weight Watchers is, that it's really just about good eating habits.
I'm desperate to have children. I am chomping at the bit. It's a problem. I can't imagine that I will not be a mother.
My grandmother lives on a farm. And growing up, I assumed that the animals that I was eating and the animals that I was wearing all came from farms like my grandmother's. They all had names, they were all smothered with love, and they all lived to be very old.

It's a challenge to work a character's arc into a format in which you only have a very limited amount of time to grow and develop a character.
