My family lived in Thousand Oaks. In 2002, when I was 17, I begged my parents to let me move out. I had money, a real job, and wanted to get my own place.
Acting was just another part of my life, as it still is today. It's 1 of the 10 things I love doing. It's never just been my life. As cheesy as it sounds, all my eggs were never in just one basket. I had a thousand baskets going on.
As cheesy as it sounds, all my eggs were never in just one basket. I had a thousand baskets going on.
When I started on 'Big Bang,' I was the only girl; I felt like I had four brothers. Then Melissa Rauch and Mayim Bialik came on the show, and we got really close. Because of that, I'm not so quick to judge other women, and now I have all these amazing new girlfriends.
I start my day with granola, fresh fruit, and skim milk and end it with something healthy that also comes from my own kitchen.
I've been so lucky and blessed because words and stuff come so easy to me. I have a good memory.
People tend to think they know you when you come into their televisions every week. They think you are different than who you are. Don't believe everything you hear.
'Big Bang' is unbelievable; I'm blessed, but it's not the only thing in my life.
I've never been in an acting class in my life.
I've been acting since I was 5, literally since I could walk, and I've always said, 'I think one day I have to be in a fat suit.'
At the end of the day, I do think I'm happiest doing comedy. I love it. I know that I can do other things. I love drama as well.
I wasn't allowed to have sugar as a kid. We didn't have candy or soda, or anything, so Easter and Halloween were my favorite times 'cause I could eat as much candy as I wanted. So, we would do the baskets, and my sister and I would go crazy.
My 'Big Bang Theory' costar Johnny Galecki went off the grid. He bought a huge ranch and goes there every weekend. He keeps telling me to do the same thing, but I don't know if I'm that committed. The Valley is as far off the grid as I'm going to go.
I wonder, 'Why did I do that line that way?' And I also constantly think I'm fat and hate my teeth. But I've gotten better over the years. I've started to accept.
