If something is a comedy for the sake of just comedy's sake and it doesn't have a good message, I don't have an interest in being part of it. If something is just serious and scary with no good message, I don't want to be a part of it.

I only want to be involved in projects that have a very good and important message.

I think the more wholesome things that come back to television, the better off we'll be.

I do think there was an age of television back in the '90s that was a little bit more wholesome.

I always want to be a person who challenges herself to be a better person and spends her time giving rather than receiving.

The best part of being on your own is not really having to answer to anybody. Not that when you're in a relationship you should really have to answer to somebody then, either. Just the freedom of not checking in with someone all the time is nice.

I have actually been very fortunate that I've met a lot of really wonderful straight men in my life - and a lot of really wonderful gay men in my life.

Lipstick is for lips only.

It is absolutely okay - actually preferable in some cases - to be weird.

I went to college when I was 27, and somehow, between high school and college, I became obsessed with getting A's. I can tell you exactly how many non-A's I had, and tell you honestly that I cried every time!

I had those full-feathered bangs that started all the way at the back of your head. My forehead isn't very big; I should have never had those bangs!

It's supposed to be fun. You should come to work every day and not have insecurities and not be self-conscious; just be your wonderful, perfect self.

I'm getting my psychology degree with a focus on marriage and family therapy.

I'm finding that I tend to be one of those people who gets into very committed, long-term relationships, and then I really focus on that relationship and not so much myself.

When you spend seven years of your life working on something that you're really passionate about, and other people end up loving it, too, that just makes all of the work worthwhile.

I went to college parties when I was at an appropriate age to go to college parties.

I think the human mind is fascinating. I love figuring out why people are doing what they do.

I've learned to never take anything for granted and that people are all works in progress. Some people are just actively working on progressing, and some aren't.

I've lived on my own since I was 18, and I really love living alone. That, to me, is just great.

I wasn't being followed around by paparazzi all the time. I was able to be a kid and spend that time with my family and not grow up too quickly.
