Southern people are raised with a work ethic. My son is 5 years old and does chores. My mom was a dance teacher, and the training and discipline it takes to be a dancer I've carried with me in Hollywood.
Defintely gymnastics, because I was a gymnast for 11 years. That's my thing. My girlfriend Betty Okino was in the 1992 Olympics and won a bronze medal. She's a gymnast. So I'm a huge fan.
Your core supports your spine and your torso. Everything you do depends on it.
So many Hollywood actresses become successful and then just keep on going - they miss out on having a partner and a baby and end up lonely.
She's such a ballsy broad because she really doesn't know any better. She has no fear, and you never know what's going to come out of her mouth, so she's never boring.
She is the best thing that ever happened to me,
I don't know anybody that has a teenage son or daughter who at some point hasn't been like, 'God, I hate them' just under their breath. It's not meant to be literal. It's funny.
I don't have one specific dream role: I'm an actor, so I want to play everything. In this business, they'll pigeonhole you in two seconds if you're great at the role you play. Everyone assumes that you're really just like that character.
But for me, I prefer to play the more rugged character because it's more real. ... More people can relate to those types of characters, and I like to be able to relate to everybody.
I'm a really good cook. I left home to start my career at 15 - so my choices were to either learn to cook or eat Ramen noodles for the rest of my life.
I have a really great group of fans. I've been very blessed.
I don't like to say 'dork' and 'nerd' and things like that because I think that everyone is cool in their own right.
I know a lot of very rich, very successful, very lonely women in Los Angeles, and I never wanted to be one of them.
I do think being a prissy tomboy helps me in raising a son in general. I wrestle with him, play ball, play in the sandbox with him. As a mom, you get bruises, scrapes on your knee.
