I'm very self-conscious having my picture taken, so I clown around. My driver's license photo looks like a blonde Elvis.
To say that I am organized is an understatement, but my car tells a different story.
I don't email.
I feel like 'CSI: Miami' was just a license to do all sorts of horrible things that I'd always wanted to do.
I felt like the news business was a little rough for me and a little sleazy. So I glided right over into acting.
I've found that I've settled into myself a little bit more in last year and started wearing things that I feel comfortable with and my own style and... I decided to just embrace the person that I am and the look I like, and what I think is pretty.
My house is very serious. It's a lot of antiques, and the way I decided to liven it up is, I paired it very vibrant colors and - bugs... I think that they're pretty. And I think that they're fascinating and they're natural.
I decided about a year ago, and I just feel like I want to see more personal style in people, and I feel like if I'm going to be out there in the public eye, they should see who I am and how I dress, and I feel like it, also.
There are actually times when there are crimes out there in the world and I find myself trying to figure it out and I ask myself, what am I doing?
Before you're a mom you don't know what gear is going to be relevant.
It's a reality that in this business there's an expectation of being thin. But having a baby is a reality too, and it's more important for me to make milk than to fit into those tiny pants. So that's just going to have to wait.
I've always known I was adopted.
As comfortable as I was with my adoption, the nature-versus-nurture question has been a big one for me. I adore my parents, but I always wondered if I would feel a different kind of love-not more or less, just different-for someone who was biologically related.
Getting pregnant wasn't easy, and I found that devastating. I really beat myself up for waiting so long when I'd always wanted children and family had been the basis of my happiness my whole life.
Your child's not looking at you and going, 'Mmm, I love a clavicle. Let me nestle into that.'
I'm going to let myself off the hook, because if there's one thing that is not my focus at the moment, it's how much I weigh.
I always felt my emancipation into truly being a grown-up was when I had to figure out how to fold up a king-size fitted bottom sheet on my own.
When I was 8, my favorite toy was a stapler. My brother was afraid of me.
180 episodes of 'CSI: Miami' and never the same lipstick twice!
