The process of doing films is not my favorite, but I love television. Television is a quicker turnaround. You shoot more during the day, which makes me feel more productive. It would be like, 'I did five scenes today and ten pages.' That's television.
We're making light of all the serious, politically correct stuff that society has created. Basically, Earl redeems himself (after) the mistakes he has made in judging people.
Jason Lee and Ethan Suplee are like my brothers. If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't have gotten through my pregnancy.
I was emancipated at 15 and off to Japan on a contract working. I felt for my parents. I apologized profusely years later, but I was just very strong-willed and strong-minded and had my own idea - thought outside of the box.
I think it's sexy when women have shapely bodies.
It's like the old thing: The parents stay together for the kids, but the kids know that you don't want to be together. The kids would rather you be happy - and separate - than together and miserable. I don't want my kid to grow up around two parents who just don't work.
We all have baggage. The question is: What baggage can you deal with?
Everything I did and continue to do happens for a reason, and honestly, I don't regret much in my life.
I used to perform with the Pussycat Dolls before Nicole Scherzinger, before they were a musical group.
Anytime someone has said to me, 'You can't do that,' I have answered, 'Watch me.'
As a dancer, I'd dance with broken toes. Just like acting, you compete with yourself and drive forward. That discipline helped in Hollywood.
I've always had an interest in design, and I have always loved creating things.
I used to go around the country performing. I was in my 20s; I had no fear. But then I had a baby, and all of sudden, your life, your world changes; you change.
Some women just skip having babies or adopt because they don't want to get fat or they haven't put in the time to find a partner. It's great to adopt, but a lot of adoptions are motivated by vanity and laziness.
