“Shows can come and go. They can be a hit and then in three years, gone. There's some comfort in having the stability of a job and having children. It's a double-edged sword.”

“I've been doing a lot of hiking, which I love.”

“But it kills me, this fascination with celebrities' personal lives.”

“Actually, I take it as a compliment. Diva is a derivative of divine. That's quite a title to carry around.”

“Whenever you move, I think you lose your history.”

“I am definitely a dog person. I feel like Webster and I are very much alike.”

“Webster and I are very aloof. The two of us go and sit there by ourselves. I sit by myself in the corner with my book and the newspaper. He kind of runs around a little bit, and then he goes and sits on top of the picnic table. He never plays with other little dogs.”

“Well, I don't think I've ever consciously come up with tricks and tools to, kind of, hide. I do think I'm a bit more vigilant, in terms of safety issues and things. And sometimes it is kind of nice to try to hold onto your anonymity.”

“And when I first came out from New York, I hadn't driven in a long time. Now I'm like Joe Speedster.”

“I don't watch the show - only bits and pieces of all of them. The only one I sat through was the pilot.”

“A lot of the tabloid stories are written so well, they're very clever and very funny. But you have to focus on what's really important and not read them - don't dive into it and don't get caught up in it.”

“I embrace everything about Ally... I don't particularly see her as a whiner. One week she's tough, the next she's really weak. I love that. She's human.”

“It's so funny how my name has always been such a big deal. When I was growing up, my family was always moving. I had to meet new people all the time. And they'd laugh.”

“But I don't like to, tell people how old I am. I like that to be a mystery.”

“I do wish my breasts were bigger. Not big... but less small.”

“The only real indulgence was buying a house. That was a pretty big step.”

“Sometimes when you play a character, you can feel it in your body. And I felt like I had characteristics of my dog: the way Webster moves, the way he holds his head. I kind of adapted it into this part unconsciously.”

“I've had a couple of long relationships. And I've had a couple of shorter relationships.”

“No, I am who I am. I'm not going to change for anybody.”

“I like to hike with my dog, Webster. It helps clear my mind.”
