Despite all those years of abusing your lungs, your kidneys, your liver the only thing you've had removed is your kids.
I've learned over and over that life happens on its own terms, not mine.
I don't need someone with a hot body. He can be fat or overweight and have a belly. It's very much about style and substance and humor, interest, curiosity and really being smart.
You never want to rest on your laurels. You want to keep doing things that terrify you.
I'm pregnant with triplets now and I feel really good.
I have a lot to be grateful for. I really do kind of get into the holiday spirit and try to find something to be grateful for anyway but this is the time of year so.
I'm not a clean freak. My house is a mess.
I second-guess myself all the time. I make a decision and then wonder if I made the wrong choice.
My mother is Italian and my dad's Irish. In my family, we're expressive. Nobody holds back.
I sort of watched everyone go through it on that show ["Grey's Anatomy" ] because I came on later in the first season, so I kind of watched everyone else go through it but really I am so grateful and blessed and feel I have had such a great career and I love that fans love the shows that I do, and so when I get approached I still, I go, "Oh, thank you. That makes me feel good."
No matter what job you do, we all have a much different life than our parents had. My parents' generation had one job and then they retired. Now, people have many different jobs.
My very first job was a cashier at Burger King in Tucson, Arizona. And I occasionally worked the drive-thru. I'd go wherever I was needed! My second job was at Dairy Queen. I stayed in the fast food royalty.
Age is just a number. Unless, that is, you live in Hollywood, where there's this notion that if you haven't hit it big by your 20s, you may as well hit the road.
Even when I lived in Chicago and I didn't have any family there, I would just go like I would be a guest and have dinner with a bunch of friends and do potluck or something. So I think that's it, just finding people that you love that love you and hang out with them.
For me, my 20s were all about reaching for the brass ring of work in theater, television, and film, surviving in between by waiting tables, painting houses, serving coffee, and temping.
My mom, she's a breast cancer survivor and because of that I had started getting mammograms once a year, starting at age 30.
I have always been the girl who keeps on trying. I try! I try!
When everyone's kind of watching you when you're out and about, it makes it hard.
I love to kind of people watch; that's part of what I do as an actor and creative person and sort of step back and watch others.
I've got four roommates and they all have fur and tails.
I think it's also different when you're younger, too and your whole life is exposed. You know, it is probably exhausting and a little spiritually depleting, but you just find ways to fill up and do things For me it's simple things.
I think a lot of people just aren't aware how young you can be and be diagnosed with breast cancer.
I used to skip breakfast, but eating gets my metabolism going, so I burn more calories all day.
I would definitely love to be a parent.
I'm lucky. I've got pretty good genes.
