My mom was a photographer and whenever they needed a baby for a modelling job, she'd stick me in front of the camera. That's how it started.

I never got back to being a vegan, but now I'm super healthy. Once Keeva turned a year old, I thought, 'I should probably try to lose this baby weight.' It didn't come off as easily the second time around... so I went to nutritionist and got on a good program that's been working really well.
I definitely had to be talked into 'American Pie: Reunion.' I was hesitant because I'm on a show, and I felt, 'I'm happy. I've got my family.' But then I met the directors, who also wrote it, and once I read the script, I was like, 'OK, sign me up.'
Everything seems like, 'If I don't change this diaper correctly, she won't go to college.' My advice is, know that the time does go by fast... it's a huge roller coaster; it's the hardest thing and most rewarding thing.
You need to suffer to be interesting.
When I got pregnant with my first child, I was vegan. And when I got pregnant, my body was craving meat so much. I started out slowly with eggs, then cheese, then I was like, 'OK, I need a steak!' I had to listen to my body - my cravings were so strong with the first one. When I got a craving for a food, I needed it five minutes ago.
My mom, Emilie, always taught me to think hard about marriage.
Nerds are far more interesting human in later life.
I want to stay true to who I am by trying to be in the moment.
This is what I always wanted to do in my entire life, so I am not going to sit here and complain that it is so terrible to be in successful movies, because it becomes a trilogy!
There should be a law that there's a pajama day every few weeks.
I know quickly whether a guy is boyfriend material. If I can have a good time doing absolutely nothing with him, then that's boyfriend material for me. Like if we're able to have fun at a gas station. I've had some really good times at gas stations.
There's a very wild side to me, but it's calming down.
I love this profession, but God, it can just destroy people, and I don't want that to happen and become some monster.
I went to a regular school, not one of those fame academy things.
I would just as likely be doing soccer practice as filming commercials.
I've always just loved the Marshall/Lily relationship, and just exploring that, and the dynamic of a long-term relationship, and I just love our scenes together. I love it.
I love that when I give my 4-year-old a cupcake, she takes a few licks of the frosting and takes a bite, but she has yet to finish a whole cupcake. She gets so excited about cake, but she never eats all of it. She would rather have a plate of fruit. I hope that sticks.
'How I Met Your Mother' - I would do it again in a heartbeat. It was so much fun going to work every day... we laughed and laughed. It was just pure, lovely fun.
I don't like hospitals, and the idea of being in labor somewhere I don't like at all - wasn't how I wanted to bring my kids into the world.
It's amazing what your body does to produce another human... you should thank your body for what it does.
No matter how much you love your spouse, you won't love them in the same way you do your baby. It's a different love, and everything changes. You have to figure out how to parent together.
I always pined for the guys who didn't know I existed. Looking back now, the friendships are what mattered. My best friend is still a girl I met in junior high.
I don't mind being the funny character rather than the glamorous one, although I'm happy to do both.
As a mom, I think you always wonder if you could be doing more.
I use foundation with sunscreen in it to save a step. It's just enough to look like I put makeup on. Then, I use a little blush, and that's it - I'm out the door.
One of the most special moments was when my husband and I renewed our vows for our 10th anniversary. It was super small with just us, our girls, and a couple of the people we wanted to be there the most. It was so meaningful.
I've had a career where people still remember all these shows I've been on. It's quite cool; I just want to do stuff that people like.
