I never had a career before I had the lips, so my lips have had their own career!
Love is all there is. That I know to be absolutely true.
I love my shoulders; they're strong. I like the way they move, and I like the way they look in clothes.
I have two children, and they know that I never pass up a piece of cake, ever.
I want to live the next chapter in my life without my lips as my defining characteristic.
Everything in my life has been challenging but rewarding.
When I was 16, I discovered jazzercise. And I thought it was the greatest thing since peanut butter and jelly.
So long as I get some sleep and get to take care of myself and eat healthy and that sort of thing, I'm OK. I'm not out there digging ditches and it's not brain surgery.
If we don't figure out global warming, we're not going to be able to be here.
I find that life just gets in the way and it gets so busy and there's so much chaos and stress that can come along with raising two teenage girls in Los Angeles and being married and working and, you know, everything that goes along with it. It's how do you find those calm moments, because everybody has this in their life.
I've got really good people around me, and I feel really blessed to get to do everything I get to do, so to me it's a joy.
Just like I believe God is everywhere, I believe that whether it's nature, whether it's sitting on a bike in spin class, that can be church, too, for me.
I find that we must be careful not to judge or weigh in on anything other than ourselves. I am living and learning this still!
I dabble in all kinds of spirituality. I studied Kabbalah for over ten years, and you know it's all basically the same.
Here's the story: 25 years ago, I had my lips injected with silicone. Stupid thing to do at 24. I saw 'Beaches.' Remember that movie 'Beaches'? I did it with my best girlfriend, so she and I go and we get our lips done. Fine. I have it like that for my whole career, right? So then cut to a couple of years ago, I have a doctor remove as much as they possibly can because it got to the point where they were yucky. You know, they get hard. It's gross. They are now whatever that was after they took out as much of the silicone as they could.
There's so many things happening with computers and what-not, where we may be able to live until 150 and even longer, but if the planet's not here for us to live on it, if we burn ourselves out from global warming and everything else, if we don't figure that out, if we don't figure out an alternative form of energy, I think we're in big, fat trouble.
Yeah, that's a luxury to be able to go to a two-hour yoga class! Sometimes I'll just get on the floor and do it for five, ten minutes. Whatever you can get, you just do it.
I don't care what you do. We all deal with it if we're living life, trying to find those moments where you can turn off your brain and connect to whatever and just be grounded, live in the moment, which I find really difficult but try to practice on a daily basis.
I used to go to church when I was younger. My parents didn't go to church, but my friends all went to church and I loved going to church - I would go every Sunday with somebody. My parents used to think it was funny.
It didn't matter if it was the Catholic Church or Episcopal Church or Presbyterian Church and it still doesn't today. I just like the tradition of having a place to go and connect to a higher power and feel gratitude, and I think that's helpful however you find it.
Kids are a lesson every day, and being married is a lesson every day, but I think having a boutique and running it with my husband and having our careers and raising children was something that was really an eye-opener all the time.
If I just take an hour yoga class, I will come out differently than I went in.
When you pick a career like acting, it's challenging, but it's a lesson every time you put yourself out there. I wouldn't change it for the world - I love what I learn every single day.
