“To be honest, I don't watch a lot of TV. It's kind of ironic because I'm on TV.”

“You either have chemistry or you don't, but a lot of what attracts me is a guy's mind and humor and talent. I need to get to know all those things before I fall for someone.”

“Running is my solo time; working my muscles outside in fresh air is therapeutic.”

“I love to try and cook. I'm pretty good, but I'm not saying I'm great.”

“Whether it's a bright shoe or a clutch or a lipstick, I've had a lot of fun using color contacts as an accessory.”

“I like to keep some things to myself, because its called a private life, not public.”

“My way of discovering of what I like was to create a restaurant list and eat my way through it, and I call it my 'inner fat girl bucket list.'”

“Over the holidays is when I have the most occasions to cook and bake.”

“I read the 'Twilight' books before the movie and the whole craze happened. And then I loved it. I was in love with Edward before every other girl that says she's in love with him was. Because I read them a long time ago shooting a movie in Salt Lake City, and one of Stephenie Meyer's friends said, 'Make sure you read my friend's book.'”

“When I work out, I feel happy, confident, and accomplished.”

“I have a giant baking book, so I close my eyes and pick a random page. Whatever it is, I try to bake it!”

“If I feel confident wearing something, I think it translates in photographs. It changes my demeanor and posture.”

“I love yoga because it's very calming for your body and your spirit. It gives you that meditative state, and its 90 minutes where you can get away from the world and just be, and exist in the moment. I need yoga. It's part of my life, and I can't imagine not doing it.”

“I literally pass out when I see blood.”

“I haven't personally in my real life had many people close to me die, but my characters have, and I've had to live that as though it's real. And it can take a really big emotional toll on someone.”
