Actress

Anyone who says there isn't pressure to look good as an actor in L.A. is lying.

There have been periods of my life when I was heavier, like right after high school I definitely gained that freshman 15. It was tough to lose. Ever since then, I know that I can gain weight, so I try to be careful.

Emotionally, I think you're going on a journey with the character, so you have to be present for each and every scene, and for me,one thing I like to do is step away between takes, away from everyone else, listen to some music, and just get into that place to help me perform.

I'll bring in UNO, and we'll play that on set.

My dream is to one day afford a real pair of ruby slippers. For me, they will always be the ultimate shoe.

It's been so wonderful to hear the realities behind motherhood.

I think Comic Con pushes you to have a little more fun and be playful. Everyone else is dressed in cosplay... it would feel weird to wear something boring when you're standing next to a Khaleesi!

I only use one side of the Physicians Formula Twin Cream Concealer Opens a New Window - the yellower side. It's great for covering up red spots.

All pregnant women are warriors. It takes strength just to get up and go to work.

It's not like I have the most perfect body in the world. I'm a normal girl.

I don't eat red meat anymore.

I think whenever you take over a role, you're just really hoping that people will embrace you.

The best thing they've told me is to be forgiving of yourself as a mother. I think you go into it, and you want to hold yourself to the highest standards, and you want to be perfect. That's not possible. You make mistakes and learn.

I can't sleep when there's any light.
