Sandy Bullock cast me in my first movie, 'All About Steve,' and I think I weighed 176, so that's just how I rock and roll. I'm just who I am, and if I lose weight, I lose weight. Goodness, I'm trying to be healthy, but if I've got to eat the cupcake, then just eat the cupcake.

If you're not getting it perfect, life is still going to go around. The world still turns. It's going to be OK. Tomorrow is a new day.

You literally just have to celebrate who you are, because that's a beautiful thing.

I'm a girl that loves to go to amusement park.

'Eastbound & Down' is giving you a rhythm. It's just a whole different vibe with improv. As an actor I just kind of exercise within my environment and adjust depending on where I'm at.

It doesn't matter what gender you are, or it doesn't matter what other background you come from: everybody deals with insecurity.

You can't do Shakespeare with a Southern accent, honey.

I grew up with six girls and one boy, so my innate instinct of who I am - I'm the third oldest, and I helped raise all of my younger sisters. I just fall into that aspect - that motherhood - naturally.

Katy Mixon

I am such a big fan of letting everyone know how special they are and what they contribute.

Katie Otto goes after stuff she doesn't feel is right, and she stands up for it. I do that too, just kind of in a slightly kinder way because I'm from the South.

I'm pretty simple. I have every product in the world, but I tend to use three things: cleanser, toner, and moisturizer.

In real life, I'm very different from Sarah Dunn. She's from the North. I grew up in the South. I wear big hoop earrings. I love me some makeup, and that's not her at all.

Out here in California, in the Pacific Ocean, the sharks have a bad attitude.

Pensacola isn't Florida, really. It's the Panhandle. It's right up there near Alabama and Louisiana. It's, like, a stroll away from New Orleans. I feel like New Orleans is home.

Katy Mixon

You have to keep your eyes wide open and your head high and realize that you are going to be OK. I do this with work and with being a mom - I'm a true believer that it's OK to fail, and that there is power in getting back up on the horse.

Katy Mixon

I do life fearlessly.

Katy Mixon

My whole thing with the whole weight situation is - it is what it is. It's never been my identity.

Katy Mixon

I went to the Carnegie Mellon School of Drama.

My very first acting job ever, the first time I got paid to be an actress, was in 2001, right between my sophomore and junior year in college, when I was just 19 years old. I got paid $250 every two weeks, 10 shows a week, to be in the Utah Shakespearean Festival. I was Calpurnia in 'Julius Caesar.'

Katy Mixon

A lot of people don't know that my background is completely classical. For a while there, I was all about Moliere and the Greeks and Brecht and Tennessee Williams.
