Her favorite movie is Noah Baumbach s Kicking and Screaming .

I never underestimate the power of hot rollers for your hair and eyelash,curlers for your eyelashes.

In high school I had some famously egregious fashion missteps. I was,really out there in fashion, I think because I wanted attention. I,would wear crazy patterns, skin-tight pants and giant platform shoes.

The rugs that I picked out and the pillows with the little owls, sort of,like whimsical throw pillows - I feel like you can never enough,whimsical throw pillows in your house, in your life. My husband,probably disagrees.

I only became a celebrity because I had a kid. Before I was pregnant,nobody cared. I joke to my agent that having a baby made my career.

I love my nose! I was so nervous when I got pregnant that I was going to,get that weird nose spread that you sometimes see pregnant ladies get.

I love little Peter Pan collars and little puff sleeves.

My mother accidentally gave me food poisoning. She fed me baby carrots,for a snack before Christmas dinner - but they had expired in June! I,threw up for the next 24 hours.

I find it to be strange that people get obsessed about how fast,actresses and celebrities are taking off their baby weight. I guess,people like to look to them and feel better about themselves or feel,worse about themselves.

Nobody wants to see a bejeweled pregnant lady from top to bottom.

I would never be on a reality show.

You can be in Ohio and shoot your own web series, if you want. If this,had been around when I was in high school, I can guarantee you that my,friends and I would have been shooting our own television shows and,putting them online and trying to get as many hits as possible.
