At this point, I wouldn't be able to digest meat, and I don't like eating things with faces.
But unfortunately, when you have a kid, you sometimes eat everything they leave behind. So far today I've had some of her leftover pancakes with peanut butter.
Eating vegetables makes me feel good.
I am still learning every day not to watch other people's careers and compare.
I am vegetarian, though, and so is my family.
I definitely have a Fisher voice.
I didn't finish college, which is really weird because they awarded me the Alumni of Distinction recently.
I don't believe in depriving myself of any food or being imprisoned by a diet.
I just believe that whatever you put into your system you're going to see on your face and your body.
I knew from the time I could walk that I wanted to be an actor.
I love to cook. I make an award-winning turkey chili.
I loved psychology and I loved history.
I stay in my own little zone, and that's good for me.
I think you inherit most of your talent from your parents, although sometimes a fabulously talented singer grows out of the union of two tone-deaf people.
I took up French boys and wine and I studied psychology.
I was a backstage kid. I was in the wings looking out.
I was like a race horse, just trying to get into the world.
I was up until all hours of the night, listening to stories, meeting great old comedians.
I wish I could do the whole Spinning class thing like everyone else. It's probably the best thing for your butt.
I'm always on the quest for something delicious and healthful.
I'm obsessed with cooking shows, even though they make everything look so easy when it isn't.
I'm sure that my mom would have been happy with any path I chose.
I've never been a waif; I have a womanly figure and always did.
It's challenging, but you have to at least try to eat right and exercise.
It's sad to say, but I'm the kid who failed PE in high school. How do you fail PE? I had to repeat it four times my senior year!
Lately we've had conversations about how the business is so different from before.
More important, you have to stay happy and positive or the stress will kill you - but at least it will make you skinny!
My mom has this great skiing event in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, every year for a local charity.
Seriously, in our business, we all know there are actresses who are too thin, but that's not what most people look like or are supposed to look like.
Since having my daughter I've found my adult body, and I feel comfortable with it.
Skiing makes me feel great, and it gives my legs such an incredible workout.
We would perform shows in restaurants and we would put on Girl Scout musicals in the living room whether my mother and her friends liked it or not.
When I came back from school I was heavy. I wasn't obese, but I was the funny fat best friend - never the leading lady.
You don't have to be that skinny, and you don't want to be so overweight that you're unhealthy - somewhere in the middle is just fine.
You want the best for your kid, but everybody's career is completely different in this industry.
