LORI LOUGHLIN

Playing a fashion designer could be the bane of my existence because I am married to a fashion designer.

When you don't work for a while, immediately you get a little black mark next to your name.

When you are developing a character you have to bring so much of yourself to the role.

Surfing is not my strong point. And... I don't really have a tan. I go to the tanning place, the one that sprays you with color.

You have to make difficult choices in your life, and you just have to be happy with them.

It's funny, my girlfriends think that because I am married to a fashion designer, I get all these great tips and hints about great fashion, but it's not like that at all. He never tells me what to wear.

Listen, it's not just 'Full House.' It's across the board in the entertainment industry: women are not paid what men are paid.

I like quinoa and brown rice, and I try to do that over a lot of white flour bread, even though I love that kind of bread.

I think that 'Full House' is just a feel-good show. It's not meant to be anything more than just a little silly, funny, heartfelt, and warm program.

I will always love 'Full House.' It's become so iconic. It was such a long-running, successful show with people that I really love.

My younger daughter really loves makeup. She's quite good artistically. I could see her going into something possibly behind the camera - whether it's in film or still camera for editorial stuff - but she's very taken with makeup, and she's really quite talented for as young as she is.

I think any critic that takes a swipe at 'Full House' is like taking the family dog. The dog brings you joy and happiness and makes you forget your problems, and that's all 'Full House' does. Literally, taking a potshot at that show is like taking the family dog.

To this day, I still get people calling me Aunt Becky, and I'm not offended by that at all. 'Full House' has afforded me wonderful opportunities in my career.

I love the whole mystery-detective genre - I love all of that.

I love champagne, but I don't have champagne every night. If I go out, and I want to have a drink, I'll have a glass of champagne.

I try everything in moderation, but listen, if I'm at some great Italian restaurant and they bring out the wonderful bread and butter, I'm the first one to dive in the basket.

It's hard to get older as an actress. You see a lot of people, especially in L.A., chasing youth.

Every Valentine's Day growing up, my dad would give me a strawberry cream-filled chocolate heart from Russell Stover.

Looking back on my 'Full House' wardrobe days, I think I almost regret all of my fashion moments. Oh man, I mean the high-waisted jeans, the cowboy boots, and the tent dresses I used to wear? I don't know what I was thinking.

I do believe in God. I was raised Catholic. For me, personally, I was always very thoughtful about projects that I chose for myself.

I'm very good about taking care of my skin and keeping up with facials. I'm a big believer in always taking care of your skin.

I had done a few commercials here and there, but I was never super lucky in commercials.

I'm not great at just getting on a treadmill or an elliptical or even going to, like, a SoulCycle-type class.

I grew up in a great neighborhood, and I remember that you just walked out the front door, and you had a ton of friends to hang out and play with.

I always had an interest in wanting to act, but my family wasn't in the entertainment industry at all, and we didn't know anyone. We didn't really even know how you begin to crack that nut.
