I've never really been America's sweetheart, but for a minute I think that's what they wanted me to be.

I can hide, and my husband's just terrible at finding me. I do like to jump out from behind doors and scare him.

I keep kind of making certain mistakes in public appearances over and over again.

I have bad feet and I have weak ankles.

Guys are much more obvious than they think they are.

I just like to shake things up, and your hair is one way to do it.

I'm done with the whole idea of having my own children. It doesn't seem like any fun.

I'm not always so nice.

I totally wouldn't mind being able to wave my hand head to toe and have, like, a whole new outfit.

The mouthier I got, the more I'd be celebrated.

Hollywood likes to label everyone so you're easier to identify.

I just ultimately wanted to be a mother. I love children.

I am a better mother for having something in my life and not just my children.

I want my family to resemble the family I came from.

My sister is Korean and my parents adopted her about three years before I was born and that is how I grew up.

I have my moments, but generally speaking I shy away from being too lovey dovey.

I'm not terribly sentimental.

I pride myself on being kind.

If I wasn't in this industry, I wouldn't work out.

I don't have a lot of discipline.

It's lame to say that I'm a normal girl, but I think I am.

A lot of children don't find forever homes because they're on that special-needs list, even if it's because of something as simple as her mother smoked cigarettes for a month, not knowing she was pregnant.

The world is still very bigoted.

I've had paranoid panic attacks.

If I have to be focused and watch what I say, then I have to be comfortable.

I'm realising now that I can't just blurt things out.

I'm realising now that I can't just blurt things out.

I still love the theology of the Mormon religion and think it is a wonderful way to grow up.

Some people think, if you're in the public eye, that you have to have an answer for everything and it has to be boring.

I haven't been to rehab, I don't do anything eccentric - I'm really boring.

If I start going back to church, I'd have to stop the smoking and drinking, and I wouldn't be able to curse any more.

There were so many lean years. A lot of lean years.

My mother is a great source of advice and wisdom and consolation for me.

I'm terrible with patience.

I decided I was sick of trying to figure out what everybody else wanted, and I should just decide what I want, and be honest, and not spend all my time guessing.

When something disappointing happened, my mother would remind me not to let that become my focus. There's still so much to be grateful for.

I'm really proud of myself because I've pared my beauty regimen down to a cream blush and berry-tinted lip balm, which has saved me so much time.

It's easy to be taken advantage of if you're not honest.

As women, we have more of a tendency to be people-pleasers, and I know a lot of women who are not vocal about what makes them happy.

My career is really important to me, but there have to be other great, important things in your life besides work.

I'm not really a first-move kind of gal.

My mother is a realist, and she's had biological and adoptive children, and she said it's no different: No matter what, they're putting a stranger into your arms. You don't know them yet.

If I spread myself too thin, I'm not a good actor, I'm not a good mother, and I'm just really high-strung - and everybody hates me.

Isn't it so weird the day you wake up and you're just going with the flow? And you just suddenly are a mom.

Adoption has been a part of my life and a part of my family, so it was how I wanted to start. It felt natural and right to me.

I prefer a kiss that is so much more than just a tongue in your mouth.

It's more fun to think that there are other worlds.

Guys are kind of retarded until they're about 30.

A girl told me my lips looked like somebody had pressed strawberry yogurt against my face.

My good friends are Mormon, some of the best people I know.
