To stop smoking was actually really easy because I had already started to cut down. My husband is asthmatic, and he just can't for the life of him imagine why anybody would put smoke in their mouth, so he really helped me to start cutting down.
I'm definitely a sushi person. I know I can eat a lot and still be fairly healthy.
Your faith in yourself is all you will ever have. Don't let anyone take it away from you, ever.
To travel America and see everything it has to offer, with my best friend, sounds like the perfect road trip.
Personally, I have nothing to fall back on, and that creates a weird ambition that you have to be good at acting because you can't be good at anything else. I wish I had gone for my degree - that acting wasn't this be-all-and-end-all.
Orca family members belong together at home in the ocean, not isolated in tiny tanks at SeaWorld. If you believe that a mother should never have to know the pain of having her child torn away from her, boycott SeaWorld.

Everyone gives 'Picket Fences' credit for being so willing to delve into issues that now would be no big deal. But it was then. It was ahead of its time.
It's funny, because even though on a drama like 'Picket Fences' those long monologues would stress me out, doing special effects where there's a green screen and there's nobody there to to react to and you have to recite all this dialogue, it's so much more difficult.
Felicity Huffman is just flawless; she's above and beyond TV and movies and this Earth.
Growing up in any sort of spotlight is difficult. Everything is magnified.

The WB never treated us well, so we didn't expect a lot of farewell wishes and flowers or cards.
My mother's very proud of the name she gave me. She thought it sounded rhythmically better. It doesn't really make a difference to me what people call me, but since my mother calls me Holly Marie when she's angry, I prefer just my first name.
