All I know is that I'm on that show every week and I'm, like, a big deal on the Internet. What more could I want?
At my lowest I was making nothing, of course.
I am all about health... and to me, size is not what defines your health.
I am blessed to be able to work at a job I love and also give back in the most vital way - to people in need.
I couldn't have been a bigger has-been. Two years ago I was crying on my kitchen floor thinking I'll never be able to pay my mortgage.
I didn't care at all about losing, but I just didn't want Emerson to feel bad, You know, I didn't win, but Felicity won, and when you come to the set next time, you can give her a big congratulations.
I feel like I'm a stay-at-home mom, which I was for the five years before this. She's absolutely been my focus. That's the choice I made. Desperate Housewives is perfect for me. I get to go back to work and still be able to take my daughter to school and pick her up.
I feel like I'm too old to just have sex. I mean, I want to have sex, but with somebody who really loves me.
I'd like to change my butt. It hangs a little too long. God forbid what it will look like when I'm older. It will probably be dragging along on the ground behind me.
I'm 40 and I just got my first beauty campaign with Clairol Nice and Easy.
I'm a firm believer in putting your money where your mouth is.
I'm a woman who carries around all these layers of fear and vulnerability.
In all my career, in my ups and downs, I've never had a beauty campaign. This was meaningful that at almost 41 years old, I could be getting my first beauty campaign. It made me feel really great.
It is truly a privilege to be able to support all women's causes on a global level. It is remarkable that something as simple as television can empower us to create change and awareness in the world.
My advice, Be healthy, reach your own goals and don't be afraid to impersonate a SNL star.
My parents are really well intended, and I think their way of dealing with things is denial and guilt. Nobody wanted to talk about it. But all I did was blame myself.
Well, I guess what's caught on film is caught on film, and it would be hard for me to stand here and say that it wasn't, you know me.
With this book, I truly hope to reach everyone that I don't bump into on the street and share my story.
