SHANOLA HAMPTON

Steve Howey is probably the funniest man in Hollywood. For real. He is just that person that can make you laugh at all times.

You get so used to a world that you complain, but never actually want anything different. Why crave the unfamiliar?

Teaching is so rewarding because when you see the look on student's faces when they get it, when you're able to excite them about what you're excited about; it's so rewarding, and it's so much fun.

There's something so grabbing about people who will do anything for one another.

I'm a TV addict.

Eggs give me protein after a good work out. The cheesier, the better!

I would like one day to play an FBI cop, just so I can hold the gun and shoot.

The amount of time it took me to get a show like 'Shameless' was definitely worth it because of the people and the material. I can appreciate it because I know what it's like when I didn't have a show.

For breakfast I have grits, because I'm a Southern girl!

I do like adrenaline. Zip-lining is my favorite.

There is no justification for having an affair.

Your body can't switch off tired. People fall asleep behind the wheel all the time.

With 'Shameless,' 'Homeland' and 'American Horror Story,' these are all shows that don't follow a particular mold, and they are out-there. The acting is spectacular.

Singing and acting on a show is like theater; it doesn't get any better.

I want to be a superhero. Maybe I'll be a bartending superhero who shakes martinis to save the world.

Watching kids go from the age of 9 and 10 to 13 is a big, huge jump. The way they speak, their looks, their attitudes, everything changes as you go from being a little kid to a teenager.

I watch every 'Real Housewives' franchise there is.

I love comedy, but I actually do prefer drama because I am already animated as a human being.

I'm such a workaholic.

My husband is my buddy; he's my lover. We share lots of things.

I swam in the Great Barrier Reef when I was five months pregnant. I went on the bullet train in Japan, which was so much fun, and getting to see Mount Fuji. I did Mykonos and its black volcanic beach. Most of the fun times I've had have something to do with a vacation. I love traveling.

I love 'Shameless' as a fan. But I love lots of television. And as an ensemble, I have never seen a group of people put on screen what 'Shameless' - the 'Shameless' cast as an ensemble and as individuals - in decades.

Bill Macy is the most incredible, humble, and hungry human being, and that is the captain of our ship. He is phenomenal. We still laugh together, and we still talk and text and check on each other.

Chicago is my absolute favorite city. It's clean, the food is amazing, and everyone is so warm and welcoming. We've gotten really, really used to it and really excited about our second home in Chicago.

In the South, everyone speaks, if you know each other or not. I'm raising my daughter more Southern, like how her father and I were raised.
