| # | Quote |
|---|---|
| 1 | I've never been a waif; I have a womanly figure and always did. |
| 2 | My mom has this great skiing event in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, every year for a local charity. |
| 3 | You want the best for your kid, but everybody's career is completely different in this industry. |
| 4 | But unfortunately, when you have a kid, you sometimes eat everything they leave behind. So far today I've had some of her leftover pancakes with peanut butter. |
| 5 | I was a backstage kid. I was in the wings looking out. |
| 6 | I was like a race horse, just trying to get into the world. |
| 7 | I was up until all hours of the night, listening to stories, meeting great old comedians. |
| 8 | I'm always on the quest for something delicious and healthful. |
| 9 | I'm obsessed with cooking shows, even though they make everything look so easy when it isn't. |
| 10 | I knew from the time I could walk that I wanted to be an actor. |
| 11 | I love to cook. I make an award-winning turkey chili. |
| 12 | I loved psychology and I loved history. |
| 13 | I stay in my own little zone, and that's good for me. |
| 14 | I took up French boys and wine and I studied psychology. |
| 15 | I am vegetarian, though, and so is my family. |
| 16 | I definitely have a Fisher voice. |
| 17 | I didn't finish college, which is really weird because they awarded me the Alumni of Distinction recently. |
| 18 | I don't believe in depriving myself of any food or being imprisoned by a diet. |
| 19 | I just believe that whatever you put into your system you're going to see on your face and your body. |
| 20 | It's challenging, but you have to at least try to eat right and exercise. |
| 21 | I'm sure that my mom would have been happy with any path I chose. |
| 22 | Skiing makes me feel great, and it gives my legs such an incredible workout. |
| 23 | At this point, I wouldn't be able to digest meat, and I don't like eating things with faces. |
| 24 | I am still learning every day not to watch other people's careers and compare. |
