There was kind of a pivotal moment in my life in junior high school when my English teacher told me I should be a part of the public speaking competition.
I have an amazing spouse; we're a team. He works, and I work, and we sort of do this dance with each other so that we can be present to our kids. But I think the whole 'balance' thing is an illusion; we just embrace the imbalance.
What's really important for us is that our home base is in L.A., and when we move to Toronto - where 'Suits' is filmed - we move as a unit and are always together in the same place. My 5-year-old goes to two schools, which I was worried about, but it ended up being an amazing, self-esteem-building experience for her. She celebrates it.
When I'm not at work, I put deep conditioner in my hair and wear a baseball cap. I'll just roll around on the off-days with goop in my hair, and then just rinse it out.
I like Canadians. Who doesn't like Canadians? It's amazing! They're the friendliest people on earth.
I hate all the core stuff. That's why I have to have a trainer. That's the only way I'm going to do the abs work.
I honestly think I've gotten taller since I started doing Pilates. And my posture is totally different - no more slouching!
Any time you get to work with someone new who you admire, who's awesome, it's great; you're excited to be there.
I still have some synchronized swimming moves in my back pocket from camp when I was 8. I can really wow people at a pool party.
My favorite part of 'Suits' is when we go back in time, and we do learn more. I hope we do more of that in Season 6.
For me, when I have those moments of getting down on my body - let's say, for example, my stomach doesn't look my stomach before I had kids, just saying - that bums me out, so I really have to shift that negative into a positive and get really grateful for the fact that my body delivered me two amazing little girls.
As I got older, I gave myself the space to be human and to have a minute and be disappointed and feel whatever I'm feeling.
When you're a regular on your own show, there's a comfort level that you have with the crew and the other castmates, so going into work can feel like going to your second home.

I'm really thrilled to kind of be a role models for my daughters, and showing them the passion about what I do, and I get to go to work and I love to go to work. That's what I saw my mom doing my whole life.Collection: Mom
