For my birthday my husband learned to cook and is cooking one day a week for me. But he only likes to do fancy dishes. So we end up with weird, obscure things in the refrigerator.
At my first tournament, about four years ago, I got four twos. Now I have a poker problem. I do win every so often, so that’s what keeps me going.
I just learned how to scuba dive. Id been scared to rely on one little air hose for oxygen, but swimming with all those fish is exhilarating.
It is weird. People will say, ‘Oh my God, I love you.’ And I’ll say, ‘Oh, that’s so sweet. Thank you.’ And the people who are walking around with me for the first time will say, ‘I don’t understand what happened. Somebody just told you they love you. I don’t even understand what that means.’
It makes me happy to work. And it makes me a better mother to be a happy person.
I was a little shocked at how adult some of the humor was, because I was never that into animation before and when I watched ‘Shrek’ I really laughed out loud.
My mom is very Southern and she in real life says things like, ‘If you’ve got it, flaunt it.’
The things the writers have me doing on ‘Suburgatory’ are insane. I think they think it’s easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.
Bad, quirky poetry might be better than some of the good stuff, because it really comes from the heart.
It’s hard being a girl. There are a lot of body image issues that come up and I think the best thing we can do for our kids is lead by example.
Manipulating people is what’s so fun about poker. I love that you can just look into someone’s eyes and lie – and it’s perfectly acceptable.
I was an assistant once. I worked for Rob Reiner and his family. I did sign a confidentiality agreement, though.
