Kaley Cuoco
I've grown up on TV, and there were some phases that weren't pretty.
I'm the most competitive person you'll ever meet.
I had such a normal and amazing childhood. I've been so lucky. My parents are cool and normal. They don't talk about the business, and I still have stuff to do at their house.
I grew up with 'Friends' from day one and, like, 'Seinfeld' and 'Frazier,' those sorts of shows, but for sure, 'Friends' was it for our family. Like, we would watch every Thursday night at eight o'clock; I couldn't wait.
I'm a country girl at heart.
I think an old-school Western would kind of be really up my alley and would be so fun, I'm so comfortable in that genre and around horses.
It took years for me to figure out what my body needs and that what works for my friends doesn't necessarily work for me. Doing yoga five times a week has transformed my body.
I'm the type of girl who's always had to buy jeans in three sizes because I never know what my body is going to do from one day to the next.
I have to have a cheat day. I know when I'm being good all week long that come Sunday, I'm going to lie by the pool, have a drink, and eat some pizza.
I know it sounds old-fashioned, but I like the idea of women taking care of their men.
I feel like a lot of comedians do have that deep, dark thing. I have my stuff, but I don't go to that dark place. Things are just way too good.
As cheesy as it sounds, all my eggs were never in just one basket. I had a thousand baskets going on.
It's important in a relationship to have moments when you do your own thing.
Staying fit is all about trying to find enjoyment in something physical, because that's the only way you're gonna get results.
I don't go out. I don't go to clubs. It's not my thing. I sit at home with my glass of wine and watch hours of reality TV. I have a million shows on my TiVo.
I can be a guy's guy and go to a game. But at the end of the night, I can still get dressed up for a date. There are a million different personalities that are part of me.
If I played tennis, I had to be in a dance class. I always had multiple activities, so I never had to count on any one of them to feel successful.
I don't have kids, but I know that you want them to follow their dreams, while at the same time, you don't want them to be sitting around, hoping that dream is just going to come. I'm sure that's hard to tell your kids.
With my parents, when I was younger, I always had to do two things. If I was acting, I always had to do a sport or something on the arts side of things along with that. That way, if one fell apart, I always had something else to fall back on.
At the end of the day, I do think I'm happiest doing comedy. I love it. I know that I can do other things. I love drama as well.
As I've gotten older, I've had to change my food intake.
I guess I've dated smart guys, I've dated dumb guys, hot guys.
I've been so lucky and blessed because words and stuff come so easy to me. I have a good memory.
I want to be the first person to laugh at myself. It makes other people feel at ease - we're all on an even playing field.
The problem with being married to an athlete who is, like, 19 feet tall and can just eat, like, 17 burgers at 11 o'clock at night is, you're like, 'I'll have just three of those burgers,' and you think you're being good because he had 19 and you had three!
I actually like to sing on 'Rock Band.' I prefer to take the mic.
I start my day with granola, fresh fruit, and skim milk and end it with something healthy that also comes from my own kitchen.
A while ago, I was starting to get bored with my routine, so I tried Spinning and fell in love with it instantly. I go to class three times a week, without fail. I always get there early so I can sit in the front of the studio, and I'm ready to go as soon as the instructor comes in.
I think we all have different moods - a nerd one day and cool the next. I think everyone has an inner geek, and I know I definitely do.
I've been acting since I was 5, literally since I could walk, and I've always said, 'I think one day I have to be in a fat suit.'
I've never been in an acting class in my life.
I hate the sound of my voice. I can hear it from a mile away - it's nasally. Why do I talk like that? It freaks me out!
I wonder, 'Why did I do that line that way?' And I also constantly think I'm fat and hate my teeth. But I've gotten better over the years. I've started to accept.
When I moved in, I said, 'I don't care how this makes me look or sound: I am converting one of these bedrooms into a shoe closet.' It's become more of a dressing room, but one wall is shoes in their perfect cubbies.
I have five horses. My first was a professional jumper named Santos. I got him when I was 18.
I was 16 when I auditioned for the series '8 Simple Rules.' They cast the kids first.
My family lived in Thousand Oaks. In 2002, when I was 17, I begged my parents to let me move out. I had money, a real job, and wanted to get my own place.
My 'Big Bang Theory' costar Johnny Galecki went off the grid. He bought a huge ranch and goes there every weekend. He keeps telling me to do the same thing, but I don't know if I'm that committed. The Valley is as far off the grid as I'm going to go.
I like Penny. She's cool. Yeah, she dates some idiots, but, although, so have I. So yeah, I would be friends with her. We'd have a lot to talk about.
I would have 55 dogs if I could. I'm hoping one day to open my own shelter.
James Garner was a gift to our business and an example of honesty and pure class. It was an honor to have worked beside him and receive his bear hugs every day.
I'm a country girl at heart. I think an old-school Western would kind of be really up my alley and would be so fun. I'm so comfortable in that genre and around horses.
For me to be with someone, he's got to be fit. Or at least doing something he loves. Following your passion - whether it's hiking or sports or whatever - is super sexy.
I like to be home on a Friday night. I don't go out. I don't go to clubs. It's not my thing. I sit at home with my glass of wine and watch hours of reality TV.
I bleed feminism. I get equal pay to my male costars on a big show; I have my own home. I'm as independent as you could possibly be.
If my career path takes me elsewhere, that's great. But comedy is my forte.
I really don't have a type. I never had a type. If I could put them all together, it's, like, the most different grouping. So I love when guys are funny. I love guys that are funny and goofy and over the top. And you know, I really like personality.
I love the studio audience. That's where I feel the most at home. You know right away if you're being funny or not.
It's hard to tell what an entire series is going to be based on the first few episodes, or even on the first season. And it's sad because you see great casts and good ideas that don't get that opportunity to grow and show what it could turn into.
