Use spices for flavor in food rather than adding a bunch of oils, fats, or sauces.

I can bring Rain with me everywhere I go, but when she's in school, I don't know what I'll do. The longest I've been away from her is three days, and I cried my eyes out. The first day of school will be so hard.

I turned my daughter on to Strawberry Shortcake. I was really into the show when I was a kid.

Nothing really prepared me for the amount of work, or the amount of rewards, that came with being a new mom.

I have never really ever gotten to play the girl next door.

If it's an international flight, I always like to wear a sheet mask.

My view of the world changed completely when I became a mom. I'm suddenly like, 'Do pop songs always say things like this? How could they put that on the radio?'

I would love to do a really stupid character on 'The Office'. I'm so an 'Office' fan.

If I'm going to work, hopefully I have a late call time, and can hang out with Rain and our nanny until we shoot.

Every year, my family and I would go visit my mom's family in Texas. We would drive from Chicago to Texas, and once we started to get towards San Antonio, everyone looked like me! It was such a great feeling. Everyone had the same brown skin that I did.

When I first moved from Chicago to L.A., I starred in the 'Vacation' movies as Audrey Griswald, and that was like the starring role in a Warner Brothers movie. I thought everything was made, and then six months later, I'm back auditioning.

I use Stevia instead of sweetener. I add it to coffee or tea instead of sugar - you can even cook with it. The vanilla flavor is to die for!

We moved around a ton when I was a kid. I think we lived in 9 different houses before I was 15 - we moved from the city back to the suburbs; different suburbs, different houses, all over the place.

Yes, I have used my success to bring goodness to the world. Because I'm an actress, and I'm on someone's favorite show or whatever, I think maybe they will listen to me. I feel there's a responsibility to use that platform wisely.

I have two paintings that used to belong to my grandmother, who lived in Chicago. When I was young, I used to sleep over at her house. They came to me when she passed away. I remember looking at them when I was a girl, and now, every time I see them, I feel good.

As soon as I became a mom, my birthday stopped having any meaning whatsoever.

Every year, my family and I would go visit my moms family in Texas. We would drive from Chicago to Texas, and once we started to get towards San Antonio, everyone looked like me! It was such a great feeling. Everyone had the same brown skin that I did.

I like flavor - I could never stick to any diet that was steamed vegetables and low-fat chicken breast.
