When my hair was dark for 'House,' that was the hardest to maintain because it was like every three weeks my light roots would start coming in.

You can't change your fingerprints. You have only ten of them. And you leave them on everything you touch; they are definitely not a secret.

The truth about love is that you don't always fall in love with whom you are supposed to fall in love with. Love just hits you. It is a transcendent thing. Sometimes it is your best friend's husband and sometimes it's your father. It's weird. But that's a fact of life.
It's important to still look like yourself on your wedding day, so I didn't do anything drastic.
The people in your life are important. Meaningful relationships with those people are very important.
