I think I'm a kind of a person who works hard at whatever I do, literally from being a waitress to being on television. I always try to give 110 percent to whatever it is I'm doing.
Beauty is a combination of qualities. I don't think one can deny that certain people or things feel aesthetically pleasing. But without an equally pleasing being behind that form, there is no beauty there.
Acceptance is different than apathy. It is important to strive to be your best self, your healthiest, most productive, joyful self. But that is going to be a different answer to everyone.
I don't want to be alone my whole life. It is much more fun to share what you have than to have it to yourself. And it isn't like I don't have love in my life. I have a lot of friends who love me and who I love.
When you look in the mirror, your 'appearance,' that outer you, is what you see first.
I'm the breadwinner. I kill the spiders. Actually I don't kill them. I put them in a plastic bag and take them outside. I take out the trash cans. I change the light bulbs. I lug the 50 lbs. suitcases down the stairs.
When women get too skinny, like Teri Hatcher, it will show on your face and age you. I think women look very strange when they lose a lot of weight and start to look very masculine.
Parents do the best they can. But my parents are better grandparents than they were parents.
This is a very Susan moment, isn't it? I try to claim that I'm not my character, but I really am.
I think we women need to be kinder to ourselves. That we are just the way we are is enough.
H Stern was one of the first people to let me borrow their diamonds to wear to an awards show. At the Emmys last year, when I was such a has-been, no one would give me a dress.
I agree with her about oil. To me, perfume is kind of like a put-on thing, like deodorant, you know? 'I'm gonna spray myself with this and it's gonna cover up whatever's wrong with me.' I think oil is the opposite. Oil is more organic and kind of a part of you.
I actually thought 'Desperate Housewives' finished very well. I just think there's still stories to be told. I feel like I get that from fans that they weren't done watching those people's lives.
I have said a lot that it's very important to me to make time for my child and make her the priority. I made sacrifices so that I'm around and not traveling for that.
