I remember being a kid and seeing the 'National Inquirer' at the grocery store checkout line. When somebody actually picked up a copy, it was mortifying. You felt dirty for them. But now it's perfectly acceptable to read something like that. There's absolutely no taboo surrounding that kind of exploitation.
I have a lot of girl friends who are very adept at making friends, and guys are just not.
My pet peeve and my goal in life is to somehow get an adjective for 'integrity' in the dictionary. 'Truthful' doesn't really cover it, or 'genuine.' It should be like 'integritus.'
I know what it's like to have my heart broken. It is not adorable.
Ads featuring real women and real beauty are such a necessary component to offset the potentially dangerous programming out there for little girls.
In high school, I was on the youth advisory council for the Mayor's Office of Los Angeles, and that was kind of my first experience in the bureaucratic system. We tried to get things done, and nobody was really interested in getting anything done.
I am generally cast as the dependable, affable, loving, friend-wife-girlfriend.
It's downright undignified how many blazers I've bought over the years. And will continue to buy. They immediately give shape and add authority. With the perfect blazer, anything is possible.
I can fall asleep anywhere.
Auditioning is the worst.
For the most part, it is really nice when people come up to me, because I do think that people who are awkward relate to me, and that's really nice. It's generally good.
There's a definite responsibility that comes with being famous. You shouldn't be able to just dress up and look pretty.
There's no better way to process pain than to write.
My first love, I'll never forget, and it's such a big part of who I am, and in so many ways, we could never be together, but that doesn't mean that it's not forever. Because it is forever.
I have six brothers and sisters. We all look totally different: blonde hair, curly hair, green eyes, dark eyes, dark skin, light skin. It's just how it is.
I pretty much borrow my entire beauty regime from my mom.
Chemotherapy is brutal. The goal is pretty much to kill everything in your body without killing you.
I feel like there is this weird thing where celebrity involvement in political campaigns kind of goes together like peanut butter and chocolate. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad.
Marriage feels like an industry with catering and really expensive bands.
I kind of understand now why people freak out when they see celebrities that they love, because that's how I feel about every single Muppet.
