If you're not getting it perfect, life is still going to go around. The world still turns. It's going to be OK. Tomorrow is a new day.
You literally just have to celebrate who you are, because that's a beautiful thing.
Out here in California, in the Pacific Ocean, the sharks have a bad attitude.
Pensacola isn't Florida, really. It's the Panhandle. It's right up there near Alabama and Louisiana. It's, like, a stroll away from New Orleans. I feel like New Orleans is home.
My whole thing with the whole weight situation is - it is what it is. It's never been my identity.
'Eastbound & Down' is giving you a rhythm. It's just a whole different vibe with improv. As an actor I just kind of exercise within my environment and adjust depending on where I'm at.
In real life, I'm very different from Sarah Dunn. She's from the North. I grew up in the South. I wear big hoop earrings. I love me some makeup, and that's not her at all.
My very first acting job ever, the first time I got paid to be an actress, was in 2001, right between my sophomore and junior year in college, when I was just 19 years old. I got paid $250 every two weeks, 10 shows a week, to be in the Utah Shakespearean Festival. I was Calpurnia in 'Julius Caesar.'
I'm pretty simple. I have every product in the world, but I tend to use three things: cleanser, toner, and moisturizer.
I went to the Carnegie Mellon School of Drama.
Sandy Bullock cast me in my first movie, 'All About Steve,' and I think I weighed 176, so that's just how I rock and roll. I'm just who I am, and if I lose weight, I lose weight. Goodness, I'm trying to be healthy, but if I've got to eat the cupcake, then just eat the cupcake.
I do life fearlessly.
I'm a girl that loves to go to amusement park.
You have to keep your eyes wide open and your head high and realize that you are going to be OK. I do this with work and with being a mom - I'm a true believer that it's OK to fail, and that there is power in getting back up on the horse.
A lot of people don't know that my background is completely classical. For a while there, I was all about Moliere and the Greeks and Brecht and Tennessee Williams.
You can't do Shakespeare with a Southern accent, honey.
I'm loving 'We Are Young,' by Fun. Really gets the morning rockin' to a great start.
I never let the media dictate my identity, so the fact that I'm a size 14 or a size 2 or a size 8 or a size 4, I kind of rock and roll. It doesn't matter to me.
My whole thing is there is nobody else like you in this whole world.
I grew up with six girls and one boy, so my innate instinct of who I am - I'm the third oldest, and I helped raise all of my younger sisters. I just fall into that aspect - that motherhood - naturally.
