“I can’t even begin to tell you how many casting couches I was attacked on. Not just by casting people, but by stars.”

When I travel, I like to take advantage of room service. I’m really into eggs Benedict in the morning.

Without a doubt in my mind, I believe that vaccinations triggered Evan’s autism.

So basically, I don’t know what I’m talking about. But maybe I do.

I’m the worst person to tell anybody how to date.

I usually have my protein at lunch and my carbs at night – I don’t mix protein and carbs.

When I was a little girl, rocking my little dolls, I remember thinking I would be the world’s best mom, and so far I’ve done it.

If you give us a safe vaccine, we’ll use it. It shouldn’t be polio versus autism.

I’m the comedic girl next door and a lot of fun.

The University of Google is where I got my degree from.

People don’t see this side of me. They don’t know I read, like, 800 million spiritual books. Lately I am just really getting into a lot of spirituality.

You totally value and respect your body as you get older.

I didn’t have to work out before 35 but now I have to.

I guess now that I think back, I used to play priest and be a funny priest. I don’t know, I grew up in such a Catholic family that I kind of liked to test the boundaries a little bit and I think I had fun watching my mom laugh.

I’m so scared girls look at my breast implants and think, ‘To get boys, you need big boobs.’ I tell them, ‘Don’t get it done. Those fears go away. You develop other insecurities, but breasts aren’t one of them.’ I want to get them half-size.

I tried a few times, unsuccessfully, to lose weight. It wasn’t until I joined Weight Watchers that I was finally able to do it. I went to meetings and my son came with me. The best thing was that I could eat what I wanted and still lose weight. Slow and steady, I was getting my pre-pregnancy body back.

A talk show is difficult because the formula is always the same: there’s a host and there’s guests. Really what you can change is only so much. So, I don’t have any pre-interviews, which forces real conversation.

The process of casting a movie has many complicated variables…

I totally heard by chance that they were doing the casting for a James Bond movie, and that one of the auditions was taking place in Paris. So I tried myself to contact every name involved in the movie I could possibly find on the IMDb!

Local casting is just something I love doing.

Casting directors now just see me as the hard-core sniper or prison guard.

I was always casting about for role models as a kid and the Star Trek was always available via reruns and also full of possibilities.

I used to be very shy. When I first started, I had to go to a casting, and I had to go in a bikini.

You have to make that judgement yourself, and that’s partly where the casting director is so good. It was that blend that we were looking for.
