“From the time I was five years old, theater was all I knew. I did community theater; I went to theater school. It's like going to the gym as an actor: every single night, you have to recreate the illusion of the first time, so you really have to listen and connect and stay in the moment for an hour and a half - with no breaks.”

“If I would get in trouble, my mom would already know when I came home after school. I didn't have time to give my side, because she would've already seen the teacher, like, in the teacher's lounge.”

“I love 'Yoga With Adriene' videos on YouTube, cardio hip-hop, and kickboxing.”

“My book, 'The Total Me-Tox,' is about self-care and self-love and how they lead to success and empowerment. My goal is to encourage women to be their best selves in a warm, friendly way. Think human, not superhuman.”

“I prefer to drink my salad to get veggies and other nutrients throughout the day, so smoothies are a staple of my day-to-day diet. They taste delicious even when they are packed with spinach, kale, and healthy superfoods.”

“When I started filming '2 Broke Girls,' I actually was broke, so I was eating all the junk food they kept on set. But then I developed a skin rash that lasted over six months. The doctors said that it was due to stress, my diet, and lack of exercise.”

“I'd love to tackle a classic Shakespeare play or take on Nora Helmer in 'A Doll's House.' Musical theater, it's the classics like Rodgers and Hammerstein and Cole Porter's 'Kiss Me Kate.' I'm much more a Julie Andrews-type soprano than an Idina Menzel.”

“Comedy always pushes some buttons, because it wouldn't be comedy if it didn't.”

“Working with horses has taught me how to ground myself in my body when I feel panicky.”

“I'd like to do Glinda in a movie of 'Wicked.' That'd be my dream.”

“I wake up around nine and do morning chants in my bed. I learned transcendental meditation four years ago, and I do it twice a day, plus an extra ten minutes before the show because I struggle with stage fright just before I go on.”

“I actually feel that the better you know yourself, the more you want to hang out with yourself and enjoy that time to do whatever makes you happy.”
