As a kid, I was always very shy growing up - I wasn't very good at articulating my thoughts or my feelings. Now that I'm older, I found acting to do that. So it's been an amazing way to sort of express who I am.

I think it's incredibly important for kids to be able to express who they are and feel like they can be themselves without being persecuted for it or bullied for it.

The best thing about running is that you can eat a lot and still feel OK.

The reason I love kids so much is because they're so honest, so you know right away if they like you or they don't.

I am strongly pro-life, and have fought to protect the rights of the unborn my entire career. I will continue to fight for this cause because I value the sanctity of all human life.

TV is a hard job. You work 15 hours a day. People tell you what to do. I hate to do it.

In 2007, I was living in San Francisco. I came out of business school, and I was very keen on doing something with a small company. I felt that the market, in general, in mobile phones was just going to explode.

It's difficult to be a mother and maintain a career as a performer - but then it's difficult in any industry.
