I'm an actress, I live in L.A., I work in Hollywood. But I've learned that if you're too skinny, they'll say something about it. If you're not skinny enough, they'll say something about it. I just try to feel good in my own skin as much as I can.
I carry McCormick’s Pure Vanilla [in my purse] — the baking kind — and dab it on my neck… Men are attracted to the scent! One time, I put it on and four different guys were like, ‘You smell amazing!’
I fall asleep feeling beautiful. Then, in the morning, before I leave the house, I say five things I love about myself, like 'You have really pretty eyes.' That way I can go out into the world with that little bit of extra confidence. It's a feel-good protein shake in my back pocket in case someone messes with me that day.
The fun part of being a girl is that there are little beauty things you can do to make yourself feel special.
There's a difference between wanting to be respected and being a strong female and being known for being able to do things, but still very much wanting guys to open the door, wanting them to ask us out, still bringing flowers and stuff like that.
I've actually worked out more pregnant than when I wasn't.
I'm a total junk food-er.
I'm a pretty bad liar, and I'm not very good at keeping secrets.
I do think that it is no surprise that, economically, America is in trouble. There's been a lot of trouble out there. More and more women have found themselves doing phone sex and things like that, to help pay bills, so that they could be two-income households. They can do these short-term jobs and still pick up their kids at school, at the end of the day, and drop them off in the morning. I find it fascinating. I'm not one to judge the people in that situation, nor would I really want to.
There is not a girl in the world who`s not Team Edward! Have you met girls who are not Team Edward? Well, they are not girls! They`re aliens from another planet who should not be allowed to exist
If we wear our worst reviews like a backpack, they travel with us.
Dating has taught me what I want and don't want, who I am, and who I want to be.
I watch America's Next Top Model in the gym and go, 'If I stay an extra 15 minutes, I will look like that girl!'
I wouldn't have done nudity, no. That's not something that I feel particularly comfortable with.
I would just love once to be called sexy. Just because it would make me something other than cute.
My time on TV has been awesome; between 'Party Of Five' and 'Ghost Whisperer,' I've been severely lucky in great long runs on TV series that were attached to the heart and got into the audiences' hearts.
I'm very caring with animals. I think patience is a big deal, because animals are always jumping around. I love to take care of people, so I think I'd be a good vet. I always wanted to be a vet when I was little.
If you can't laugh, you won't make it.
Harry taught me that death isn't the end, it's the beginning.
You can allow yourself 72 hours of wallowing time. Then you've got to get into the gym, stop eating the ice cream and move on.
I think we are ready to know that there are going to be people who are ready to save the world, who come out when you're in trouble and make sure that you're okay.
I like cats. I used to have a lot of cats, but I don't anymore, now I just have a dog. It does take a certain temperament to have a cat, as they do have certain personalities.
I think people are just intrigued with the supernatural. I mean, I know that I am. It's something that I find very interesting.
This is embarrassing and personal, but once a month, since I was twelve years old, I go to my favorite jewelry store and try on my dream ring.
I'd like to do 'My Best Friend's Wedding,' 'Pretty Woman,' Meg Ryan type stuff. Romantic comedies. I'd love to do some action stuff as well.
We have to be very careful about what we say out there to the masses in the entertainment industry because people are listening to every word, and they take it to heart.
My body is far from a wonderland. My body is more like a pawnshop. There's a lot of interesting things put together, and if you look closely you'd probably be excited, but at first glance, not so much.
Sometimes I feel like the best role models and the people you should look up to most are the people who make mistakes because they show you how to overcome them and walk through that mistake with integrity and grace.
New clothes are a great way to deal after a breakup. A good mix CD also helps you get through it and... you know, 72 hours of ice cream.
To set the record straight, I’m not upset for me, but for all the girls out there that are struggling with their body image.
Most of the time, I'm in khakis and a white T-shirt. I'm a total Gap girl. Super casual, hair in a pony tail and no makeup.
A world without men would consists of a bunch of fat, happy women with no crime.
My greatest fear is speaking in public. You meet, like, um, people who just concentrate on me. I'd rather not have everyone focus on me.
Music for me has always been something that is directly connected to my heart.
I watch 'The Voice' and 'American Idol,' and I sit in my Brookstone foot massager. It's so exciting at my house.
I'm a hopeless romantic. It's disgusting. It really is. I've seen 'While You Were Sleeping', like, twenty times, and I still believe in the whole Prince Charming thing.
I’m not into ‘Let’s go out with one guy on a Monday and another guy on a Wednesday’ – that’s just not me.
In 24 years in the movie business, you have a lot of doors slammed in your face, and a lot of people say mean things. Every time, I'm constantly surprised at how the span of time gets quicker that I get okay with it, and I'm over it. That's been an interesting thing to learn.
I'd never watch a horror film, but after I found out I was going to be in one, I watched, like, four of them, including The Shining, I was terrified - I couldn't sleep for days. But I wanted to get myself used to things I was going to see on the set.
Follow your foot steps.
Ive always wanted to be a mom. I had a great relationship with mine. Im ready to pass on to my child all the great love that my mom had for me.
'The Client List' is my baby. I always tell people, 'It took nine months to put this project together because it is my baby.' And, it really did take that long!
I played a medium on Ghost Whisperer for six years, and the mediums never complained at the fact that I had cleavage while I was crossing people over into the light. In fact, they were super-excited that a hot person was out there representing the medium.
I love the Victoria's Secret Angels. They're sort of my gorgeous glamour heroes.
To all girls with butts, boobs, hips and a waist, put on a bikini - put it on and stay strong.
I'm a hopeless romantic, and very much the person in a relationship to go: If things are going well, I'll buy the flowers, remember the dates of things, plan fun nights out.
I think more dating stuff is scheduling. It's needing people who understand your work schedule.
I have been heart broken. You can't breathe, your eyes are pouring a thousand tears a second and you can't foresee going on with love because you never want to feel this way again. But then you have to look in the mirror and say 'Shut up, eat some ice cream, be by yourself for a while and think about who you are and who you want to be - then, go out and find someone compatible.' A broken heart feels like the worst thing in the whole world, but it really helps you decide what you want and don't want. You learn a lot from a broken heart.
I feel like, as women and men and people on the planet, you just have to do the best with what life gives you.
What a woman should know -When to just let him zone out on video games, his computer, or phone. -When to let him control the day or situation. -When to just shut up and kiss him.
Romantic comedies are there to give us dreams and butterflies, but what we can create in our own lives could be not only better but real.
I'm a hopeless romantic. I love love. My middle name is Love. Valentine's Day is my favorite holiday. I want to have a family and children. I am a sucker for every romantic comedy that comes out.
If Party of Five hadnt done well, it would have been a bunch of names involved in the demise. But if Time of Your Life doesnt do well, it will be my name. You have to prepare for the worst. This is a very fickle business.
I think I'm a really good girlfriend, and I think that I could be a really good wife. I know that I love being able to give my love out to someone. I know there is somebody great out there for me.
Probably my biggest challenge is not eating all the food that I want to eat sometimes.
I do think that even with entertainment and telling stories, people in the entertainment industry have such a beautiful position in the world to speak about things that they're passionate about in a way that can grab people more than just sitting and telling someone about something, because you can show it visually.
Films are amazing. To be a part of a movie is the greatest. It's so historic and exciting.
I just try to feel good in my own skin as much as I can.
No need for words, it's all been said.
I have to say that I think maybe they did her a favor, and maybe she'll actually get help. Coffee's one thing, but coke is another. It's not something you want to really have as a problem in your life. I think we have to kind of stop rewarding bad behavior and actually start helping people.
A role model is an imperfect person, not a perfect person, because that's who we are as real people.
When I came to Los Angeles, it was the first time that I ever felt like I belong somewhere. Not because it was wacky, but because people here understood what I felt like to perform, and there were other kids my age who wanted to do it. I didn't get looked at as God, you freak.
Remember, your body is a temple, not a 7-Eleven.
I'm a pretty bad liar, and I'm not very good at keeping secrets. I'm one of those people who is like, "Let me tell you what happened today. You're never going to believe it!"
I don't want to ever, ever do something in life that isn't fun. Ever.
We originally developed 'The Client List' along with Lifetime as a TV movie - my manager and I became partners on the project. Then, we brought in Howard Braunstein on the project and produced it along with Lifetime.
The ultimate dream in life is to be able to do what you love and learn something from it.
Coldplay I really like a lot. David Grey, I'm obsessed with.
I like both movies and TV, for different reasons. Films are amazing. It's so historic and exciting. Television, for me, is great because I love to act, every day. I love to learn, and I love to be able to just do what I love. It's when I'm at my best. So, I love TV for that reason because it's every day.
We've all got troubles. We all make mistakes. But let's not take a little river turn it into lake.
One day you retire, and you get a social life.
By nature, I'm like a 90-year-old woman, so the whole internet and Twitter and Facebook, and all of that, I'm very new to. But, I am quite shocked at how much fun it is to be able to reach out to people, on a daily basis, and keep content out there, and how much it actually really does help promote things, in such a different way.
I do love Italian food. Any kind of pasta or pizza. My new pig out food is Indian food. I eat Indian food like three times a week. It's so good.
Magazines and opinions of you and stuff like that, those will change, but your opinion of yourself does not have to based on what other people say. So I just learned that my inner voice has to be louder than their outside voice.
Sometimes as actors and artists, we don't really get to be an effective and integral part of the promotional process, other than doing interviews. With Twitter and Facebook now, and all of this stuff, it really allows us to play and have fun, vis-à-vis the pictures that I send out on Twitter every day, or little videos, or whatever it is.
You are the only person who can sell you, so you do spend a lot of time in your job by yourself everyday.
If you walk out of the house and think you feel great, or if someone tells you that you look amazing, believe it and just say thank you.
I did see LES MIZ and I thought it was just incredible. Totally incredible. I love CHICAGO, too.
I think I learned a really important lesson, as an actress, that hair and make-up is great, but the lack of it is better.
I don't consider stardom to be anything related with me. I hope that the only way this business will ever change me will be (giving me) a good life.
Elizabeth Taylor taught me that if you do your hair and makeup first then take a hot bath right before you leave, it brings out your inner glow and takes away the powdery look from makeup. I do that right before every date.
I think that it's sexier not to show everything. I feel that people's imaginations can do way more.
I would definitely say that I am a very big movie musical fan in general and I try to see every one that I possibly can - and 'Glee' every week.
I love that whole princess mentality, but I also like throwing my hair in a ponytail and just wearing jeans, going on a hike and then eating a big chili-cheesebur ger.
I'm actually scared of horror movies. I'm kind of Scaredy Cat when it comes to that stuff.
Any time you do a project you never really know how people are going to take it especially on TV. I think they used to be more forgiving with shows.
Sometimes it's the toughest moments that you learn the most about yourself, and the more you know yourself, the less you are willing to give away.
I would really like to do a really cool one-hour show, maybe on like HBO or something like that; or something that Ive spent a couple of years developing so it would be exactly the character and exactly in with a huge push behind it; or I would maybe want to do a sitcom; something light and funny.
I want to be an independent woman who falls in love, finds a great partner for her lifetime, has kids and kind of does it all. I'd like to have it all.
I've always wanted to be a mom. Because I want to give a kid all of the magical gifts my mom gave me, such as love and friendship.
My greatest fear is speaking in public.
For the most part, yeah, I'm happy with my body, but there are days when I'm like, 'Ugh! Really? Why is it so hard to fit into my jeans?' That's when I say to myself, 'I look this way because I'm supposed to. If we all looked the same, we'd be boring.
When I meet young girls, Im always like, Just do me one favour. Love what you look like right now - and remember I said it 10 years from now because its the greatest gift I can give.
I want to play Wonder Woman really badly. I want them to make the movie of Wonder Woman, and I want to play Wonder Woman so bad. Thatd be really fun.
