I'm the youngest of six children; both of my sisters are housewives and they each have four kids.

Birth control that really works - every night before we go to bed we spend an hour with our kids.

I kind of moved out of the town I grew up in as quick as I could. I left right after high school.

People make me out to be this super strong woman, but I have my tough days just like anyone else.

I feel like I have an inner drag queen. Or rather, I feel like I was a drag queen in a past life.

I'm a tragedienne in some way. I think quite epically. I like epic landscapes and grand emotions.

I was just lucky enough to grow up in a time when they actually had drama departments in schools.

There are parts of me that I feel are beautiful, but they don't have anything to do with my nose.

I've got spider veins all over my legs, so I wear opaque tights all winter. All sorts of colours.

You can never be happy when you're constantly comparing yourself to others. Keep your eyes ahead.

I've never gotten any complaints about my headscarf from a man. You can be sexy with a head wrap!

My parents were opera singers and voice teachers, so growing up, I admired musicians and dancers.

Women should do a lot more fighting. I don't think it's fair that we can't get into a good fight.

I've been in enough films where the studio wanted that extra little cuteness to make it sellable.

I'm Irish, so I'm messing all the time. Which means, I'm having a laugh. I'm always making jokes.

Whenever I see young girls wearing way too much makeup... you're young, you don't need that much.

I would never be like, 'Hey, I'm fat!' or, like, be psyched if somebody calls me fat in a review.

I love a challenge and the last four years it has all come to fruition and it has been wonderful.

I've destroyed my feet completely but I don't care. What do you really need your feet for anyway.

If you have a child, you're improvising with rules all day long, and some of them are total lies.

I pant for retirement and leisure, but am doomed to inexpressible and almost unsupportable hurry.

I don't know that you can compare it to another show because each show has its own individuality.

I'd much rather be the oddball out than kind of create something of myself that I'm not proud of.

I love the scrapbooks, I have a shelf of scrapbooks fans give me - they're so sweet, so detailed!

I don't think you should do things in your personal life differently because you're a role model.

Always carry a book on a date so that when you get bored you can slip into the Ladies for a read.

This idea that being youthful is the only thing that's beautiful or attractive simply isn't true.

I'm a sucker for fries. It's definitely one of my biggest vices. My biggest savory vice for sure.

People can never work out where they know me from. They just come up and chat with me like mates.

I've always been drawn to Marilyn Monroe, but certain aspects of her story may be too sad to tell

I felt, if I never did anything in my life but read scripts and synopsize them, I would be happy.

I don't normally look like a twig and I do eat like a pig but the weight has just dropped off me.

[on having to lose weight] I thought I'll drink vodka instead of wine because it's less calories!

Success, I would find out, is interior. It has to do with self-fulfillment and the joy of living.

People say there's a book in everyone but I'm not sure there is. There might be a pamphlet in me.

I've been proud to work on some really great children's shows, but they are not my only interest.

You guys ask really long questions. In the U.S., they just want to know who you're sleeping with.

They used to photograph Shirley Temple through gauze. They should photograph me through linoleum.

Finding out I was pregnant was one of the most joyous moments in my life. I will never forget it.

Kicks are my forte. I've got strong legs and high kicks. And I've got very good reach, obviously.

A lot of times characters are combinations of people I come across in life. I people-watch a lot.

I never set out to be a role model, but I guess parents like it because I am dedicated to school.

My next book's title is going to be, 'I Have One Foot in the Grave and Another on a Banana Peel.'

To actually be a part of a brand that you look up to, and a legendary one at that, is super dope.

We never expected the show to be this great. We think it is successful because kids can identify.

I'm not a fan of purposely farting in front of other people. If you have to fart, leave the room.

I concentrate on exercises from the waist down, since that is the laziest part of a woman's body.

In all honesty, I grew up a certain way. I never had to worry about money... that was my reality.

I listen to my body. Some days all I want is a good steak and others, I crave veggies and quinoa.

I'm sorry I didn't wear paint this morning. I tend not to wear it unless I'm getting highly paid.
