I am proud to be a role model for my viewers. I am finding out that helping victims is as or more rewarding the all the awards I win.

I'm a ready-shoot-aim kind of gal.

When my body is strong, I feel stronger inside. I feel more capable of handling emotional situations. Usually I'm more of a inside-out person, but this was a great case of me from the outside in.

If I eat clean, I look 10 years younger.

When I was in my early 20s, I had my hair permed. Bad idea! It turned into total frizz. My advice to women is, if you have nice hair already, don't get a perm, leave your hair alone!

As an actress, there were so many months, years even, when I didn't get work, when I wanted to quit.

When I read the script sometimes, it's like 'Christ! Enough!' I can't sleep at night sometimes. There's the occasional script that just hammers you, that you can't shower off.

I have so much love that I didn't even know about.

Everything has combined to make my life in New York an amazing experience. I told my manager a few years ago that I wanted to move here and try acting in the theater.

Of course everyone says they hate baby talk, but mine was not annoying.

Becoming a parent erased many of my negative childhood feelings and filled them in with something new.

I was lucky enough to have a father who said, 'Don't quit.' So I just kept going.

Sometimes things in life happen that allow us to understand our priorities very clearly. Ultimately you can see those as gifts.

Having a child changes everything. All of a sudden you have so much to lose, so much to live for.

When we're on the street and someone drops something, I pick it up.

My heart just keeps getting bigger and bigger.

I get very excited about my double stroller. Every time I look at it, I get a shot of adrenaline and joy because I think, This is real!

I have everything I need. Our house is very joyful.

It's a new skill to have two children that want you at the same time.

I am grateful that I didn't let fear get the best of me. It only holds you back from possibilities and greatness.

It's a life's journey of finding ourselves, finding our power, and living for yourself, not for everyone else.

Being sexy is just one part of being a woman and an actress. But if the part calls for sexy...

Sexual assault and domestic violence are difficult things to talk about. Talk about them anyway.
