“My mom taught me how to make grilled chicken, and I bake, too.”

“When I was going on auditions, it was nerve-racking. I'd always say to my mom that it would be awesome if I could get a series. When Modern Family came along, I said, 'You know what, Mom? I believe I'm going to get this role.'”

“I just started watching wrestling in 2008, and I've loved it ever since. I told my mom I wanted to become a wrestler.”

“I don't write poems. I don't give flowers to girls... yet.”

“Naturally, people are curious about how my real mom feels about me having a TV mom.”

“For as long as I've been acting, I have been very lucky to be paired with really great actresses playing my mom.”

“I love being on 'Modern Family.' One of my favorite things is looking forward to going to work every day.”

“I can't live without my milk. We get 3 gallons every time we go shopping, and I finish it in two weeks. I drink maybe five cups a day.”

“I go for crunchy things - I like green beans, broccoli, asparagus, celery and carrots. I'm not a fruit eater, though.”

“I think peas are really nasty. I liked them when I was younger, but I guess when you get older you have different taste buds.”
