I Would Point Out That I'm An Actress For A Reason! If I Were Popular In High School, I Would Have Considered Another Career Because I Wouldn't Have Been Alone In My Room, Making Up Other Characters For Myself. I Definitely Had Growing Pains. The Popular Kids Didn't Want Anything To Do With The Girl Who Was Starting The Drama Club.

I Have Very Curly Hair And I Straighten It Every Day - It Takes Maybe Two Minutes. I Can't Imagine Anyone Having A Bigger Challenge Than I Do In The Kinkiness That Is My Crazy 'fro.'

I Think The Noblest Thing You Can Do Is Ask For Help. And I Mean That About Therapy. I Mean That About Dieting.

I Can Safely Say That Other Than Macaroni And Cheese, There's No Processed Food In My Life. There's No Inorganic Food In My Life These Days. There's No Junk Food. There's Not A Lot Of Sugar. There's No Soy. I Mean, Really Everything That's Going Into My Body Is Pretty Pure.

Why Do Only Boys Get To Chase? Nuh-uh! If Anything, I Think This Whole Sitting Back And Waiting Thing Can Be Self-sabotaging. We Have To Send Up Flares. We Have To Let Guys Know We're Open For Business.

I Am Much More Open To Plural Marriage Than I Was Before, And I Now Support It In Certain Situations. I Do Believe It Is Right For Some People. But Our Example In America Today Is Gross Abuse - I Can't Support It In Fundamentalist Compounds.

Oh My Gosh, I Feel Like I'm Really Obsessive About Anything Dealing With My Health.

Unfortunately, As Obsessed As I Am With All Of Those Grimm's Slash Disney Princesses, I Do Think Women Have Evolved Socially In So Many Ways.

I Don't Diet. There's Going To Be Barbecues And Macaroni And Cheese - But I'll Have Broccoli And Salad The Next Day.

The Horizon Is An Imaginary Line That Recedes As You Approach It.

Oh, My, Yes. I Was Raised In This Southern Culture Where If A Guy Was Sarcastic, That Just Meant He Didn't Know How To Show His Love - But Secretly He Cared! I Completely Bought That. The Men I Chased And The Things I Put Up With - It Was Criminal.

In Real Life, People Don't Try To Live Dramatically, People Try To Live In A Light Way. People Try To Laugh.

As Long As I Can Wear A Wig I Can Be Any Character, And In Real Life I Can Be Myself.

I Understand Why Society, Especially American Society, Is Gravitating Toward Fairy Tales, Given Our Economy. We've Been Exploring The World Of Witches And Wizards For Years. We've Been Exploring The World Of Vampires For Years. Clearly The Public - I Mean, I Feel Like All Of This Was Ushered In By 'harry Potter' - In My Own Fannish Beliefs.

Exploring The World

I'm A Southern Lady That Almost Never Leaves The House Without Makeup On.

People Always Say A Script Will Be 'brought To Life In A Magical Way,' But For Me That Has Been Proven Wrong Time And Time Again.

One Time I Had Too Many Heinekens And I Googled Myself And Realized That That Was A Very, Very Bad Combination. One Should Not Google Oneself. My Mother Lets Me Know When I'm Being Followed By Paparazzi. She's Like, "there's A Man Who Is Outside Your House, Ginny, And You Need To Be Logging Onto This Website To See If You Can Find A Pattern In When He Follows You." But Otherwise, I Can't Find Any Good Reason To Read My Own Press.

Romcoms Are Challenging, But I'm Hungry For Drama.

My Day-to-day Wardrobe, I Do Mix It Up. I'll Wear Something From Target Along With Something By Ysl. It's About Finding The Right Items That Make You Happy.

I’m A Better Person In A Relationship, And I’m A Happier Person. I Need To Come Home At The End Of The Day And Have It Not Be About Me And My Freaking Hair And Makeup And Character Motivations Anymore. And I Think My Work Is More Inspired When Home Is Safe And Sound And Solid, Because What I Do For A Living Is So Bananas And So Insecure.

One Night I'd Had Some Beers, And Then I Googled Myself And Spent The Night In Tears.

But Often Times, I Feel Like I'm So Blessed, It's Not Fair. That What I'm Doing Is Not Contributing To The Good Of The World.

It’s Like, If You Can’t Focus On A Movie For 90 Minutes Without Looking At Your Phone, Then Don’t Go To The Movies! You’ve Got Some Issues, So You Should Probably Stay Home And Work On Those Issues, And Not Distract Everyone With Lights, And Sounds, Oh My Gosh, The Tapping On The Screens, It Makes Me Crazy!

A Lot Of Times, I Think That What I Do For A Living Has No Integrity. 'once Upon A Time' Has Changed That To A Certain Extent Because The Reaction We Get From Children Out In The World Is So Fulfilling, I Cannot Even Articulate It. There's Nothing Like Being Greeted As Snow White By A Hyperventilating Child Versus Ginnifer Goodwin.

When I'm Doing A Film, I Love Getting Together After Work With My Costars. But We Get Back To L.a. And I'm Like, 'i Don't Want To Go To A Club With You, Dude. I Mean, I Think You're Rad, And If You Want To Come Play Scrabble With Me, That's Amazing.'

My Grandmother Lives On A Farm. And Growing Up, I Assumed That The Animals That I Was Eating And The Animals That I Was Wearing All Came From Farms Like My Grandmother's. They All Had Names, They Were All Smothered With Love, And They All Lived To Be Very Old.

I Come From Theater, And Doing Period Stuff Is So Whimsical And Imaginative And So Outside Any Frame Of Reference Than I Have Ever Had So I Prefer That Just In Terms Of Fun Factor.

No Matter How Much Love Is There, These Aren't Two People Who Are Actually Good For Each Other. They Don't Help Each Other Grow. They Stifle Each Other's Growth.

I've Always Been Sort Of Addicted To Genre-jumping. I've Never Been In The Mood To Do The Same Thing I Did Last Time. Hence, Me Going From 'big Love' To Romantic Comedy, To Period Film I Can't Sit Still.

I Cherish All Of The Times I've Fallen On My Face And Made Mistakes, Because Those Experiences Have Made Me Who I Am.

Costume Designers Don't Care About Trends. They Appreciate, Above So Many Other Qualities, That Tailoring Is Everything, Which Is A Mantra For The Way I Dress. Ladies: The Most Important Thing In Clothing Is To Find A Good, Inexpensive Tailor, Because Clothes At The Stores Are Made For Bodies That Are Anomalies.

I'm Desperate To Have Children. I Am Chomping At The Bit. It's A Problem. I Can't Imagine That I Will Not Be A Mother.

You Know, One Of My Biggest Dreams In Life Is To Play A Disney Princess.

I Will End Up With Someone In The Arts. I Am Positive. I Eat, Breathe And Sleep Acting. And I'll End Up With Someone Who Is Happy Staying At Home And Having Me Cook Supper. But I Also Really Need To Be Intellectually Challenged And Stimulated. I Want Someone Bookish, And Someone Who Is Passionate.

I Was Afraid That My Success Would Be Dependent Partially Upon My Body, And It's True I Can't Be 20 Pounds Heavier And Play The Leading Lady. But I'm On The Smaller End Of An Average-sized Woman. I'm Positive Of This, Mathematically. And I Still Get To Play The Lead, Without Having To Be Anorexic Like So Many Of My Peers.

I Perpetuate Rumors That I've Dated People That I've Never Actually Dated.

I Really Am Super Lazy And Doing Long Hair, Especially Mine, Is A Big Pain In The Butt. It's Filled With Cowlicks And Kinks And Curls And Frizz - And It Was Taking Too Much Time In The Morning.

They Say Men And Women Can't Be Friends, But That's Not True.

My Whole Thing Is Quality Of Life. . .it Must Always Be Easy And Low-maintenance And Stress-free, And That Means Not Trying To Fit Too Much In. I Don’t Ever Want To Be In A Hurry. I Want To Enjoy The Moments.

It Took Me Realizing That A Broken Heart Has Never Actually Killed Anyone To Find The Courage To Ask For What I Want, In Just About Every Situation. That Was Part Of My Own Growing Up.

I Only Wear Heels When A Stylist Puts Me In Them.

I Started Reading And Learned That We Don't Need Any Of It - Meat, Dairy Products. We Get Everything We Need Without Those Things - Except Maybe B12, But There's This Whole Controversy That Maybe We're Only Getting B12 Because The Animals Are Being Fed B12 Supplements.

I Know Now That There Are Men Out There Who Are, For Me, The Whole Package, Who Are Supportive Of My Successes Because They Know I Will Be Just As Supportive Of Theirs. I'm Less Tolerant Of Foolishness Now; I Know That It's Important I Not Tie Myself Up With The Wrong Person, Because Then I Will Miss The Right Person Coming Along.

With The Counseling Of My Family Doctor, My Mother Ended Up Turning To Weight Watchers And Their Children's Program. I Went To Weekly Meetings, Got Counseling And Would Exercise With My Peers Who Were My Size. It Was The First Time I Saw A Proper Children's Portion Size, And It Wasn't Two Burgers, It Was One.
