I've grown up on TV, and there were some phases that weren't pretty.

I've been acting since I was 5, literally since I could walk, and I've always said, 'I think one day I have to be in a fat suit.'

I have to have a cheat day. I know when I'm being good all week long that come Sunday, I'm going to lie by the pool, have a drink, and eat some pizza.

I was 16 when I auditioned for the series '8 Simple Rules.' They cast the kids first.

I love animals, and I feel more of a connection to animals than people.

I actually like to sing on 'Rock Band.' I prefer to take the mic.

It's important in a relationship to have moments when you do your own thing.

I really don't have a type. I never had a type. If I could put them all together, it's, like, the most different grouping. So I love when guys are funny. I love guys that are funny and goofy and over the top. And you know, I really like personality.

My parents spent 16 years hauling my butt to L.A. for audition after audition. I remember always hoping I could help take care of them because they took such good care of me.

It's a fine line of doing what's good for your life and what your parents want you to do, but also following your dreams. With my parents, when I was younger, I always had to do two things. If I was acting, I always had to do a sport or something on the arts side of things along with that.

As I've gotten older, I've had to change my food intake.

James Garner is like a peaceful river through our chaos.

I'm a country girl at heart.

I start my day with granola, fresh fruit, and skim milk and end it with something healthy that also comes from my own kitchen.

Horseback riding is my passion. Other than work. People can't imagine me getting dirty, but that's what I love about it.

I'm a 'Bridesmaids' type of girl. I love silliness. That's who I am at heart, and I know I can do it. If my career path takes me elsewhere, that's great. But comedy is my forte.

I wouldn't say I was bullied, but I was definitely a bit of an outcast. It was more the kids thinking I thought I was cool. I started homeschooling in fifth grade, and I was much happier.

I have five horses. My first was a professional jumper named Santos. I got him when I was 18.

I'm the most competitive person you'll ever meet.

I want to be the first person to laugh at myself. It makes other people feel at ease - we're all on an even playing field.

Unless you're Gisele, you wake up some days and feel ugly. When that happens, I accept that I'm not perfect and it's OK; I can start over again tomorrow.

You do a job; your show gets canceled. You get used to it.

I wasn't allowed to have sugar as a kid. We didn't have candy or soda or anything, so Easter and Halloween were my favorite times 'cause I could eat as much candy as I wanted.

I firmly believe, only because I've been doing this for so long, every show takes three years. 90% of them don't get three years. It just does. It takes a long time to build a community, build a friendship with your characters. It's hard for people to grasp on and make them care about you.

I have four horses, and they are my everything.

I will always be the way I was a couple years ago before anything happened. And that's to my parents' credit, my amazing parents who have been around me my whole life and raised me right. I'm very happy with what has happened so far.

'Big Bang' is unbelievable; I'm blessed, but it's not the only thing in my life.

I've been so lucky and blessed because words and stuff come so easy to me. I have a good memory.

I've grown up on TV, and there were some phases that weren't pretty.

I've learned after so many years in this business that nothing is set in stone until you're on set. I've been told I was the choice for years and never got hired. So I never go there in my mind.

I know it sounds old-fashioned, but I like the idea of women taking care of their men.
