I came out of the make-up trailer with 400 whiteheads on my face and they were like, Kristen, come on! I was like, What? It's realistic! I had whiteheads in high school, and they were like, No, let's just go with regular, standard, run of the mill acne.

I have always been an animal lover. I had a hard time disassociating the animals I cuddled with - dogs and cats, for example - from the animals on my plate, and I never really cared for the taste of meat. I always loved my Brussels sprouts.

I've always idolized Amy Poehler, because I think she's the best of the best as far as female comedy.

I find it almost comforting to count calories, because it makes me conscious of what I'm eating. But on Super Bowl Sunday, I thought, 'Surrender to it. It's nacho time.' Then I ate nothing but Doritos all day.

People might look at you as super-weird, but if that's your obsession, go for it. I do like a lot of mainstream stuff, and sometimes I also like different stuff. I tend to always root for the underdog.
