Before I did 'How I Met Your Mother,' I was not considered a comedic actress.

I do Pilates because it's important for me to have a healthy back when I'm 70 so I'm not hunched over and in pain.

I love macaroni and cheese. I could eat it every meal of the day.

I wanted to be a marine biologist my whole life until I graduated high school.

I would really love to sit with Kathryn Hepburn because I find her so interesting.

I'm a big fan of a lot of graphic novels - 'Fables,' 'Y: The Last Man' and 'The Walking Dead,' which I like a lot more.

I've worn stilettos since I was 12, so I have abused my feet to the point of no return.

Just do your best. I find that if I set that goal for myself and no one else, I feel good.

Kindness is something that I feel is leaving us a little bit - people are getting more self-involved.

Models need to be unionized.

One of the great things about turning 30 is figuring out how to dress comfortably and still look good.

Secretly, or maybe not so secretly, I've always wanted to be a rock star.

There's something cool about traveling when you're young. There's a sense of camaraderie. You learn more about yourself.

There's something that feels more organic about watching a stunt that's done by you. There's also a feeling of accomplishment doing it yourself.

What's more awkward than doing a shower scene? Rehearsing a shower scene.

When I want to relax, I plop down on my couch and watch some great movie, usually a British drama - anything with Colin Firth.

I do Pilates because it's important for me to have a healthy back when I'm 70 so I'm not hunched over and in pain. That's more important to me than being thin.

I have so many single girlfriends who fit themselves into the mold of what they think a guy's looking for. But being comfortable around men is about being comfortable with yourself. They gravitate toward confidence. Really, that is what they want to be around.

I love macaroni and cheese. I could eat it every meal of the day. It used to be sushi, but these days I cannot stop eating mac and cheese. I haven't had it from a box in a long time, but I'll make it homemade style with four types of cheeses, lots of milk, maybe a little ketchup. I don't know, I'm crazy like that.

I wanted to be a marine biologist my whole life until I graduated high school. And even now, I'm still like, 'Maybe I'll just quit the biz and go to Santa Cruz and study marine biology and have my own research center in the Bahamas.' Yeah, I'm sure it would be just that smooth.
