EMILY DESCHANEL

I was a hostess in a restaurant in New York when I was 21, and I was too good of an employee. I was putting most of my energy into that instead of acting. But my father told my sister and me to look at whatever needed to be done and do that job well, no matter what it was.

For me, it always has to be about health. That's why I'm a vegan. Well, I don't even do that for my health entirely, I do it for animals.

My mom breastfed me for more than a year, and I can't imagine doing it any other way. It's cheap and much better for the environment, and you don't have to lug all that stuff around.

I have a treadmill, and I work out with my trainer, Julie Diamond, as often as possible. She's so positive.

I'm definitely a people person. I love socializing and being around people and having a good conversation.

Everything I know about makeup, I've learned from my sister.

The real challenge for a vegan is getting vitamin B and omega-3s, but you can get those in a vegetarian supplement.

I've been vegan for 15 years, and it turns out it makes a very big impact on the environment to eat fewer animal products, which cause more greenhouse gases than all of transportation combined.

My whole family is very sarcastic and constantly making jokes.

It makes a big difference to recycle. It makes a big difference to use recycled products. It makes a big difference to reuse things, to not use the paper cup - and each time you do, that's a victory.

I've been a vegan for about 15 years.

I think it's important to remember that to exercise you don't have to run a sprint.

I'm a vegan, but you can be really unhealthy as a vegan, too.

I really like being pregnant. Not that there aren't things I don't love, but when I think about what my body is doing - creating a child - it just blows my mind. I'm in awe of the process and science.

The United Nations did a study just over two years ago, and that blew my mind. I started thinking that if people are vegetarian for one day a week, that makes a huge difference!

People want to believe that love conquers all and that differences can be worked out, and I do believe that, too.

Public speaking is the number-one fear... even over death!

I am a huge 'Wonder Woman' fan - I had 'Wonder Woman' Underoos and a towel that I saved from when I was a little girl that is so faded, if that tells you anything.

I think its important to speak up for the environment because the Earth is not saying something.

I'm not into any glitz or glamor or anything like that.

Where you're not allowed to be woken up by any outside sources, you wake up naturally.

I have to pinch myself every time I think of getting to work with Kathleen Turner.

I think its wonderful to have a relationship where you both go out and live your lives, and you bring something to the table because you've had other interactions.

It's nature that you're going to have relationships in your life, and sometimes it's with the people you work with.

I love doing a series because you get to see changes in a character and see her grow. It's a journey with change, and you don't get to see that long-term type of development with just a film.
