“I just like to shake things up, and your hair is one way to do it.”

I still love the theology of the Mormon religion and think it is a wonderful way to grow up.

When I do get pregnant, I highly doubt I’ll be one of those women who don’t look pregnant from behind – I’ll be that chick who looks pregnant from her ankles up!

My worst habit used to be smoking but I quit.

My good friends are Mormon, some of the best people I know.

Obviously my career’s important to me and I’m really, really passionate about trying to keep it.

I haven’t been to rehab, I don’t do anything eccentric – I’m really boring.

I’m not out burning bras, but I’m very opinionated about women owning their power.

I was putting so much time and energy into just my work, but I was raised to believe that family comes first.

I am a better mother for having something in my life and not just my children.

I don’t want to be the person digging my own grave.

I’m the most uncoordinated clumsy, klutzy person. I always had a bruise, I always tripped and fell.

I can’t cultivate a relationship with my child if it’s between takes. I tried that on a movie and realized, ‘This is not going to work.’ It will work some of the year, but not 12 months a year.

I don’t make big grand gestures, generally.

The world is still very bigoted.

My mother is a realist, and she’s had biological and adoptive children, and she said it’s no different: No matter what, they’re putting a stranger into your arms. You don’t know them yet.

I love playing a smart, ambitious, talented woman. Who doesn’t? That’s really fun for me.

I think that women are afraid to be vulnerable because they think it makes them look weak.

I definitely feel like if I put out a song that was like me being super vulnerable, people would look as me as weak. I don’t know if that has to do with me being a girl, or if that really has to do with anything, but I’m sure.

I was very vocal about how I wanted to be portrayed on the show, and how I wanted the stage setup to be.

You know how in football, guys throw defenses, and the defense throws you a look, but the look is not really what it is – it’s only made to fool you. It’s the same thing with drugs. The drug is only an illusion to draw you in.

With clothes, I like mixing what different designers do until it becomes a personal expression of how I’m feeling that day.

So for me, fashion was about standing out as an individual – and it helped me get the attention that most people try to get with publicity stunts or by doing other crazy things. But I just let the attention come to me naturally, and I think some of that has to do with my fashion.

Time may be a great healer, but it’s a lousy beautician.

I have good legs, and why to hide them?
