“When I was on the 'Mickey Mouse Club,' there was Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake and Ryan Gosling and Christine Aguilera. But they were 12 and I was 17, so there was a bit of an age difference.”

“Sometimes it's the smallest decisions that can change your life forever.”

“Everyone should dance more. Everyone should walk more.”

“I was a huge fan of 'Arrested Development,' and there's just something it tickles in me and it's bright and it's hilarious.”

“People expect all women to react the same to pregnancy. But anyone who's been around pregnant women knows that it's not all cutesy and sweet. You spaz out and you're angry and you have tantrums.”

“Yeah, I like being on my own. I do. I tend to be a loner, so I'm okay. I'm not okay when I have to be around everyone all the time.”

“I am positive I was not a neglected child. I remember reading 'The Jungle Book' and 'The Sleeping Beauty.'”

“Acting happened to me. If I had pursued it, I think it would have been like someone going to a bar, desperately looking for love and not finding anyone.”

“I like getting to be in the adult world a little bit and then getting to be in the mom world and cook dinners. And, for me, that balance is what makes it nice.”

“Personally, I'm a real wimp with scary movies. I get so scared.”

“Dance is definitely what I love doing much more than anything else.”

“I think people like to be thrilled and excited. And a scary movie is a safe way to do that because you're not actually doing it. It's entertainment. You know that you're in the confines of this two-hour space of safety in the movie house.”
