I struggle with control.

I've done every diet there is.

I loved campaigning for Obama.

I still like to make crank calls.

I do Pilates, and hike with my dog.

I'm stronger and sassier as a redhead.

I'm lucky. I've got pretty good genes.

I would definitely love to be a parent.

I'm not a clean freak. My house is a mess.

Acting was all I ever really wanted to do.

I'm pregnant with triplets now and I feel really good.

I've got four roommates and they all have fur and tails.

I try to cook dinner, but it's difficult when I'm working.

I have always been the girl who keeps on trying. I try! I try!

I don't think anyone gets married thinking that they will get divorced.

There are lots of different ways for women to be a mom in this culture.

I've learned over and over that life happens on its own terms, not mine.

I don't like to take a lot of stuff since I'm really sensitive to medications.

When everyone's kind of watching you when you're out and about, it makes it hard.

You never want to rest on your laurels. You want to keep doing things that terrify you.

I like to eat right and in moderation, but give myself treats and kind of have everything.

Sometimes I hope that through osmosis I might get a workout - just by wearing the clothes.

My mother is Italian and my dad's Irish. In my family, we're expressive. Nobody holds back.

I used to skip breakfast, but eating gets my metabolism going, so I burn more calories all day.

I second-guess myself all the time. I make a decision and then wonder if I made the wrong choice.

I think a lot of people just aren't aware how young you can be and be diagnosed with breast cancer.

Everything also calms down with the influx of social media, there's so much happening all the time.

I think as much as we're cyber connecting it's really nice to just sit and talk, and have that ritual.

I feel so lucky that I've been on shows that have been by and large critically acclaimed and that audiences like it.

Despite all those years of abusing your lungs, your kidneys, your liver the only thing you've had removed is your kids.

I love cooking but I still always go and sneak a little bit of sides from Boston Market, and it's so good. They're so good.

My mom, she's a breast cancer survivor and because of that I had started getting mammograms once a year, starting at age 30.

I love to kind of people watch; that's part of what I do as an actor and creative person and sort of step back and watch others.

Age is just a number. Unless, that is, you live in Hollywood, where there's this notion that if you haven't hit it big by your 20s, you may as well hit the road.

I have a lot to be grateful for. I really do kind of get into the holiday spirit and try to find something to be grateful for anyway but this is the time of year so.

People always say you can't do a red lip if you have red hair but I've never shied away from it. I think you can absolutely do that. It's more about hair colour and complexion.

No matter what job you do, we all have a much different life than our parents had. My parents' generation had one job and then they retired. Now, people have many different jobs.

I don't need someone with a hot body. He can be fat or overweight and have a belly. It's very much about style and substance and humor, interest, curiosity and really being smart.

For me, my 20s were all about reaching for the brass ring of work in theater, television, and film, surviving in between by waiting tables, painting houses, serving coffee, and temping.

My very first job was a cashier at Burger King in Tucson, Arizona. And I occasionally worked the drive-thru. I'd go wherever I was needed! My second job was at Dairy Queen. I stayed in the fast food royalty.

When I cook, I mean when I'm working crazy hours I always do Sunday dinner and I'm not afraid to ask for help, whether it's from Boston Market or from my friends to bring a dish ... it's all about community and really connecting.

I think it's also different when you're younger, too and your whole life is exposed. You know, it is probably exhausting and a little spiritually depleting, but you just find ways to fill up and do things For me it's simple things.

Even when I lived in Chicago and I didn't have any family there, I would just go like I would be a guest and have dinner with a bunch of friends and do potluck or something. So I think that's it, just finding people that you love that love you and hang out with them.

I drink tons of water. When you're puffy, you think you can't drink water since you feel more bloated and gross but that's what you do to get the toxins out of your system. I put a little lemon in the water bottle that I carry around with me or drink a cup of hot water with lemon. It's a natural diuretic.

I've been working with Operation Smile for a number of years, and $240 changes and saves, in many cases, saves a child's life. But one of the things I'm super excited about is my partnership with Boston Market this holiday season and we've partnered up not only to help everybody out during the holidays because we know how crazy it gets.

I think for Thanksgiving particularly I've always, one of the fun things for me about doing a big dinner is having friends and family so we've always done that, and even through our other holidays like having a mix of friends and family, and if you don't have your family nearby, or it's tough for you, find a friend and go and eat with them.

I sort of watched everyone go through it on that show ["Grey's Anatomy" ] because I came on later in the first season, so I kind of watched everyone else go through it but really I am so grateful and blessed and feel I have had such a great career and I love that fans love the shows that I do, and so when I get approached I still, I go, "Oh, thank you. That makes me feel good."
