I've Been Really Lucky. I Didn't Have Any Morning Sickness And I've Been Off Work For Most Of My Pregnancy, So I've Been Able To Do Things Like Work Out With A Trainer And Do Prenatal Yoga And All These Things That Have Kept My Body Very Agile And Pain-free.

Sometimes Acting Is Really Cool Because It Forces You To Exercise Certain Muscles In Your Personality That You Wouldn't Normally Be Called Upon In Life.

When I'm Writing My Blog, I Think Of Myself At 13 Years Old, Back In St. Louis, Daydreaming About Hollywood.

Growing Up, I Was A Very Shy, Wallflower Type. I Was Not A Nerd, But Not Popular. I Was Just Invisible, Like That Person You Probably Didn't Know You Were In School With.

I Knew I Wanted To Be An Actor, And I Didn't Necessarily Need Or Want To Be Famous Or A Celebrity Actor. But I Wanted To Be Somewhere Where There Would Be No Ceiling On What I Could Accomplish, And I Felt Like If I Stayed In St. Louis I Might Have A Really Great Regional Theater Career Or Something, But That I Wasn't Going To Be Able To Get Much Further Than That. And It Felt Like New York And L.a. Were The Two Places Where You Could End Up Being A Tv Star Or You Could End Up Doing Regional Theater, Which Would Have Been Fine As Well.
