Trying to show people something they haven't really seen before can get a lot of push-back.

No such thing as food that's terrible for you, unless you binge on it.

You don't have to be in our industry to have a panic attack about your career when you're pregnant. Even if you're a lawyer, you can think, 'I'm scared to take time off because I don't want to get passed by.'

Hermione Granger is the mix of brain and heart that I've always wanted to be.

I think any story line that involves a relationship is going to be interesting.

Once you become a mother, your relationships in your own life change. Perhaps with your own mother, and perhaps with your sister. Perhaps with your baby-daddy.

My dad taught me to read by reading comic strips in the Saturday paper and Archie comics.

I don't know if you've ever tried to run through waist-deep snow, but it's next to impossible.

I'm a big fan of honesty and being real, so to me, it seemed like Wynonna was a very human character in a very supernatural circumstance. I was like, 'I can do that!'

When I was pretending not to be pregnant, I knew where I stood with everyone, and I knew that the world would accept me; I knew where I fit.

I make unbelievable pizza.

I think it's refreshing when the people you're looking up to mess up just like you do, but somehow, things, in their own way, work out.

I've done some awful auditions, and I've really done some horrible work, but it forced me to flex those muscles, and that's what makes you a better actor, just doing bad work and seeing what looks bad and growing from it.

There are so many factors that go into directing. It's honestly a logistical nightmare for a lead to direct themselves in an episode.

There are certain things that I might not watch, and, in fact, some things that I've done I don't watch because it's not my cup of tea, I guess.

As an actor, there's nothing worse than having to hide anything, because you're just so aware of it.

I've worn my share of dresses and heels in my career. It's easy. It's not very challenging. It's not fulfilling.

Rejection is never personal, so don't let it consume you.

I don't smile or talk before 10 A.M. unless it's scripted.

The danger with genre is playing genre instead of playing the honesty of what's going on.

Twitter is important, but it's not more important than protecting your soul.

I love doing stuff in a harness. It's surprising what you can actually do. I'm reasonably coordinated, so I can do flips and the flipping kicks.

What's wrong with 'Mario Bros. 3?' Not a damn thing.

I really expected Twitter to be a scary place, for people to say horrible things, but I've had just the opposite experience.

A lot of Wynonna is what I wish I could be. I don't like confrontation. I'm pretty polite. But I think she's the side of me that, if I could be free, that's who I'd be.
