We face a choice this election. President Obama is fighting for changes that grow the economy from the middle out and help all Americans succeed - jobs, education, health reform, the DREAM Act, equal pay for women. He is moving us forward with opportunity today for prosperity tomorrow. Mitt Romney wants to take us back to yesterday.
My worst habit in the kitchen is not allowing anybody to help me. I like to cook by myself.
I've always been business-minded. I worked in corporate America before becoming an actress and knew that acting wasn't the end but a means to an end. It gave me the platform and the exposure I needed to do my philanthropic work. It also gave me the financial security to focus on my other businesses, start new businesses, and even help other people start businesses.
If they'd done that last time, we never would have had a problem.
I find it a turnoff whenever men arent into some kind of sport. And, no, video games dont count. I dated a guy who was into video games, and I wanted to shoot myself.
What a great ending to a magical year! The nomination is made all the more sweet by the fact that I'm in the company of my dear friends and co-stars.
To be with the same person for the rest of your life just sounds so drab.
I was born in Corpus Christi, Texas, the youngest of four girls, including my oldest sister, Lisa, who has special needs. My mom was a special education teacher, and my dad worked on the Army base. We weren't wealthy, but we were determined to succeed.
I didn't really blossom until my mid teens, and by that time I had to work on my personality to make people like me. I found it easy to make people laugh and I was always pretty popular.
Honestly, I think shows wear out their welcome. I don't want to be on (American TV series) Seventh Heaven - on for 20 years and no one's really watching and it's hanging on by a thread.
I didn't grow up wanting to become an actor at all. I wanted to be a sports trainer and I was actually an aerobics instructor.
So many people think you have to be rich and famous to really create an impact, and it's just not true. Especially when it comes to environmentalism.
I grew up with the word "volunteer" as a very powerful word in my family. I was inspired by my mother and by how selfless our family was toward others who didn't have enough.
If I were single and had my career, I'd be happy. You have to be happy with what you're doing.
