“I was never the pretty girl at school. I'm tiny. I have a squinty eye.”

“I have no problem with my nerdy side. I'm a nerd in many ways.”

“I think it's important to be able to laugh at yourself and not take life too seriously.”

“I'm feisty. I'm a Taurus. I do what I want, when I want. I am very independent. I don't need a man to be happy.”

“I don't think I'm a celebrity. I'm just a working actress.”

“I love being a mom. It's the best thing I've ever done.”

“I'm a big foodie, I love to cook. I love to go to restaurants and try new things.”

“My biggest beauty secret is just being happy.”

“I learned to be my own best friend, because you're going to be with you for the rest of your life.”

“I'm just a girl from a small town in Minnesota, who had a dream and was lucky enough to have it come true.”

“This is your brain. This is your brain on drugs. Any questions?”

“I would say to my 19-year-old self, 'Don't be in such a hurry to be a grown-up.'”

“I think the most important thing is to be you and be true to yourself. It's the only way you're going to be happy.”

“I don't think I'm a glamour-puss, and I don't think I'm a bombshell. I'm just me.”

“Sometimes you have to do something unforgivable just to be able to go on.”

“I was never the girl who was like, 'I want to be a princess,' or 'I want to be a movie star.'”

“I think that I'm a better actress than I am a celebrity.”

“I'm a Minnesota girl, so I'm a fan of all things cozy and comfortable.”

“I was the dork in high school. I was a geek. I was a nerd.”

“The second you think you've got it made, you're not going to be as hungry for it. And that's not as much fun.”
