My parents came from little, so they made a choice to give a lot: buying turkeys for homeless shelters at Thanksgiving, delivering meals to people in hospices, giving spare change to those asking for it.

I think you have to make time for yourself so that work doesn't become the end-all be-all.

If I have to do a red carpet, and there is a whole team, then it is an hour with the hair and make-up. But if I am just going out with friends, it is 15 minutes max in front of the mirror. A quick five minutes on my face, and I always wear my hair up.

When I was 11, I saw this ad for dish soap powder that said, 'Women all over America are fighting greasy pots and pans.' I was so angry. I couldn't understand why it didn't say men as well.

When I'm traveling, I won't miss an opportunity to try great pasta.

Nivea Firming Body Lotion. When it goes on sale, I buy it in bulk. I am obsessed with it and how it makes my skin look and feel.

French fries and vino are my vices.

RevitaLash. Beyond obsessed. We don't use fake lashes anymore for me at work... they are SO long!

Curl the lashes, concealer under the eyes, blush, ChapStick, and highlight in the inner corner of the eye.

I'm a sucker for a compliment.

The best job a man could have would be a chef. They'd understand the long hours I work and the drive and ambition it takes to succeed.

If we treated ourselves as well as we treated our best friend, can you imagine?

On a normal day, I love a shift dress with flats and a little cropped jacket. That, for me, is my travel wear if it's not too chilly - you can throw a scarf over your legs if it's cold on the plane!

Food makes travel so exceptional, because you get to taste what it's actually supposed to taste like. To eat the real Pad Thai or finally have a proper curry is something pretty amazing.

Some women are able to wake up looking effortlessly chic - as though a bevy of fashion fairies twisted their low-lit locks into a messy chignon while they slept. They choose a frock from their exceptionally curated closet and leave a trail of custom fragrance and perfection in their wake.

I don't sit around thinking about my titles and roles; I just do what feels right.

I've never wanted to be a lady who lunches - I've always wanted to be a woman who works.

Put on a sweater and really great sneakers with a big scarf, and you'll look so stylish. For me, they are an everyday essential.

I'd just like to retire quietly with dignity, secure in the knowledge that no more comedies will ever be made now that I'm gone.

I get offered stuff that I don't really want to do, so hopefully, I'm just kind of waiting for the right thing.

I love Chicago - absolutely love Chicago. I mean, I'd much rather go to Chicago and do a play or a musical than New York, honestly. Because just probably for reasons that are obvious to you. It's just a little bit - it's a nicer, easier city.

My mom is elderly, and she's not doing too well, and I've literally never told her about 'Childrens Hospital,' because I fear that if she ever sees it, it will be like the coup de grace.

Nick was cast first in both 'Smashed' and 'Kings.'

I'm from Oklahoma, and Nick's from a small town in Illinois.
