“I really got into 'The Walking Dead.' That was genius. And I have to say, my husband is on 'Shameless,' and I think it's a brilliant show.”
“Plyometrics. Hate them. Enough already. Jumping around, using your own body weight is so hard to me. How did we do it as kids?”
“I'm not one to be messed with. I can be bad when it needs to happen.”
“My favorite workouts are the ones that don't feel like I'm working out! So, dance is a big one. Another is any kind of isolated moves, like ballet moves. Anything that works the glutes and legs - sign me up! And I like to blast the music. I have to get lost in the music. That helps.”
“I never really paid attention to sports, which, coming from the mecca of football in Texas, is kind of odd. I played sports, but I was nerdy. Having a single mother, the pressure was on me to get good grades and a scholarship and go to college.”
“When I was in my early 20s, I looked towards exterior things to make me feel sexy - guys, clothes, shoes, etc. Now it's all about how I feel internally.”
“NFL cheerleading is harder than most people think. They train up to six hours every day with games on Sundays. They gave me a great work ethic.”
“I actually got more attention from one episode of 'The Sopranos' than I did from two years of 'The L Word.'”
“I hate girls who complain, 'Oh, guys are looking at me!' But I love it when guys check me out. It just feels great.”
“Once, I started cheering for the wrong team. I was hot, and I heard 'Touchdown!' and I started doing high kicks, and I looked around and nobody else was cheering.”
“I never thought I would be one of those wacky chicks who say, 'I loved my labor,' but I loved every part of it. It was the best day of my life.”
“Growing up, I loved Morticia Addams and Lily Munster on one hand, and Jeannie from 'I Dream of Jeannie' on the other. Two completely different ends of the spectrum, kind of like me.”
“I always had that adolescent notion that I had to get out of Texas. But I'm really glad I grew up there. It's where I learned to look people in the eye, to be straightforward and polite.”
“I can take a newspaper and make it a lethal weapon.”
“The most important mark I will leave on this world is my son.”
“It doesn't matter what people say or what the rules say or what you're supposed to do, you go after what's in your heart.”
“I have an incredibly dark, mysterious, witchy side and another side that's very bubbly and cheerleader-esque.”
“Michael Emerson is just a prince. There's something about him. He's so sweet. I don't know how to describe it. There's something about him that's a bit royal.”
“I'm a tomboy myself and have always been incredibly athletic.”
“I feel that as the world becomes more and more multicultural, it's a good tool to be able to speak another language.”
