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. Show less «

I would definitely love to be a parent.

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

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

Acting was all I ever really wanted to do.

I still like to make crank calls.

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

I struggle with control.

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

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

I've done every diet there is.

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

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. Show less «

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I do Pilates, and hike with my dog.

I'm stronger and sassier as a redhead.

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

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. Show less «
