I didn't grow up wanting to become an actor at all. I wanted to be a sports trainer and I was actually an aerobics instructor.

So many people think you have to be rich and famous to really create an impact, and it's just not true. Especially when it comes to environmentalism.

If I were single and had my career, I'd be happy. You have to be happy with what you're doing.

I love to be pursued. I think that when you're not a challenge, it's just nnot as fun for the guy.

Marriage is a commitment, so you always have to work at it.

Staying in shape does not come easily, especially as you get older and you don't have as much time or energy to exercise. I used to be naturally skinny in high school and college.

When people call me a sex icon, it's flattering but it never goes to my head because I never felt sexy as a teenager.
