I don't know why anyone would want to ask an actor for dating advice. We are not the poster children for healthy relationships.
With the counseling of my family doctor, my mother ended up turning to Weight Watchers and their children's program. I went to weekly meetings, got counseling and would exercise with my peers who were my size. It was the first time I saw a proper children's portion size, and it wasn't two burgers, it was one.
I made some friends at Listerine and they taught me a little bit about oral care. That half of adults suffer from oral disease, that the number one chronic disease among children is oral disease, that we're only taking care of 25% of our mouths when brushing alone and there are more germs in your mouth than there are people on the planet.
A lot of times, I think that what I do for a living has no integrity. 'Once Upon A Time' has changed that to a certain extent because the reaction we get from children out in the world is so fulfilling, I cannot even articulate it. There's nothing like being greeted as Snow White by a hyperventilating child versus Ginnifer Goodwin.
I'm desperate to have children. I am chomping at the bit. It's a problem. I can't imagine that I will not be a mother.
Once you get past the logistics and the shock, you actually fall in love with them.
In the society we are representing, there are these women for whom this is the answer to their problems, not a problem in and of itself. It will bowl over our audience, and will educate them.
I hardly ever work out.
I will end up with someone in the arts. I am positive. I eat, breathe and sleep acting. And I'll end up with someone who is happy staying at home and having me cook supper. But I also really need to be intellectually challenged and stimulated. I want someone bookish, and someone who is passionate.
I come from theater, and doing period stuff is so whimsical and imaginative and so outside any frame of reference than I have ever had so I prefer that just in terms of fun factor.
People always say a script will be 'brought to life in a magical way,' but for me that has been proven wrong time and time again.
I want to work endlessly and tirelessly until I'm an old, old lady.
I think most people know inherently that good wins.
I'm so an all-or-nothing person in dating, always. I'm big on not wasting time. And so, yeah, if something's not working, it's time to not hold people back.
