I am a single mom and I'm the breadwinner and I have to work and I have to do these things and that's just the way it is. I don't think my son even knows any different.

My ex-husband and I, even though we're not together, we are 100 percent together in raising our kid. We communicate a lot and where I drop the ball and need him to pick it up or vice versa, he's there.

There are so many heroes just walking around in everyday life. It blows me away.

I really wish I could sing so I could front a band, because that would be a dream come true, totally. I want to sing. Can't do it though.

When movie people go over into television, it's a little bit of a shock. It's much faster-paced. Everything is really last-minute. You won't know your schedule for the next episode until the last minute.

I had developed a sitcom with UPN, but it wasn't picked up.

I don't mind playing the same character, but if it's not well done, then I'm not interested.

When I was first starting out, and I was less established, I was really concerned about being typecast.

Most of the time I meet my trainer at the gym and we do a lot of everything: weights circuit with cardio, football drills, sprinting with weights on the treadmill.

I think essentially the meaning of life is probably the journey and not really any one thing or an outcome or a result.

Cause I was such a novice and thank God that Sarah was as seasoned as she was because she was really a great leader in that regard in the sense that she would communicate really well with the crew.

It's been a difficult thing because some great opportunities have come and I've just been holding my breath and praying... I'm basically gambling hoping something will come along this season and if not, I don't know what the future holds.

So, I'm happy to do that because it's a wonderful working relationship but I will be going out for pilot season for half hour work and that's the gamble I'm taking.
