My worst habit in the kitchen is not allowing anybody to help me. I like to cook by myself.
I've always eaten egg whites because when I was little, I didn't like the color yellow, so my mom would trick me into eating eggs by taking out the yolk.
I was born in platform heels. I actually always fall down when I'm wearing flip-flops.
When you're fighting for social justice, one of my biggest pet peeves is speaking out of ignorance.
My acting is still being recognized for the fact that I wasn't nominated.
On a television show, you basically make a movie a week. Movies take three months - it's crazy. They're so slow, it's like vacation to me.
I'm a fabulous date, I make sure I look good, I like hearing what a guy has to say and I make sure the evening is a real laugh. I like to laugh.
In my family, there was one cardinal priority - education. College was not an option; it was mandatory. So even though we didn't have a lot of money, we made it work. I signed up for financial aid, Pell Grants, work study, anything I could.
It's really important to have a healthy sexuality and to be open about it. It's not a taboo. It's normal.
You're never too old or too busy to continue your educatioan!
My mom had four kids, one with special needs. She had a full-time job, and she still came home and made dinner for us every night, from scratch. It was amazing.
But America was built by optimists. Optimists like my friend Amanda, who recently started a small business. When she went to buy her website address-her first and last name-she found that someone already owned it, but wasn't using it. So my friend emailed the owner of the site to ask if she could buy it. The owner wrote back.
I try to run every time I'm in a new city or country - you just put your shoes on and go. It's very therapeutic, and it also works for me when I want to lose weight.
Hold on to the love, not the loss.
