My curls were my worst nightmare growing up.

Growing up, I felt a little bit invisible.

I take great pride in portraying a strong female character who is independent and can take care of herself. I don't think we get to see that enough in television.

I was playing a singer-songwriter, so I started writing, and I started going up to different places around Los Angeles and reading poetry of my own, which terrified me, but I had to do it. I picked up a guitar and started learning guitar.

It takes a lot of work to put together a marriage, to put together a family and a home.

I feel strongly for gay marriage to be accepted.

A woman should say: 'Have I made him happy? Is he satisfied? Does he love me more than he loved me before? Is he likely to go to bed with another woman?' If he does, then it's the wife's fault because she is not trying to make him happy.

I think marriage scares a lot of men.
