At 3 years old I was imitating and doing fun little commercials for the family. Then at 5 I knew 'OK this is something I really like.' At 8 I was crying in front of the mirror and my mom was like 'Oh boy here we go. We know what she's going to do.'

I had so many offers after 'True Blood' for things that were someone in the same vein but nowhere near Alan Ball's vision. Or something that was over-the-top and fantastical. And I've always wanted to play the regular working-class mom and I've never really had the chance to do that.

I didn't really know what I wanted to do and then I got this call from a casting director in Los Angeles. She remembered me from something years before and she called my mom wanting me to audition for this thing.

My mom didn't ever think I would take to acting because I was a very shy very reserved kind of child. But obviously something changed!

My mother smokes me out. We'll get these long periods of me thinking I'm too busy to call her up or e-mail her and she'll send me something. My mom's a real whiner. I love her to death but she always sends me these 'woe is me' things. I think she might be Jewish. I'm not sure. She's Baptist-Jewish which is a double whammy.

I was looking to do something non-fiction because I had done a strip 'My Mom Was a Schizophrenic.' I really enjoyed the process of doing that strip despite its subject matter. To do it I'd had to do a lot of research and reading and I figured I'd like to do that again.

The fact that I'm very close with my past relationships is something I pride myself on. My mom is still close to her first husband. It's nice to be able to enjoy someone in a different form.

I was a hyper kid in school and the teacher suggested to my mom she needed to do something with me.

I'm somebody who doesn't work with a stylist. I'll be honest with you I'm a mom and it's just not something I want to put money toward because it's expensive to have somebody who helps dress you and I feel like I have to pay for preschool and so many things... so I don't have a stylist.

I got a family house for everybody to live in - my mom my sisters and I. And I made sure that it has a separate apartment downstairs for myself. Family is more important than anything. We don't come from any money. So once I get them settled in in a nice house then I'll branch out and see if I can get something else.

From the very start of all of this my mom has read the scripts first. And if she liked something she let me read it. She told our agent what kinds of parts that we would want.

I've never had siblings I didn't grow up in a big family it was just me and my single mom. And hectic family dysfunction was actually something that I craved.

I don't spend a lot of time online. My mother's really good at picking out if she sees a really great review and she'll forward it to me. She's like my little Internet filter. It's always nice to see something going up if I want to find something on Nathan Fillion I do know where to look but I've got a nice little delivery system in my mom.

My mom was a single mom and she had enough on her plate. I knew when I was doing something I wasn't supposed to and I tried to keep her from finding out about it. I did a pretty good job of that.

Something my mom taught me when I was little is that everything happens for a reason.

My mom always says 'If you don't believe in something you'll lose yourself completely.'

Every time I think I have something under control it changes and I don't have it under control. I think it takes several years to get there. Jade is 19 months old so right now I'm on alert all the time. And as a mom I think you're constantly worrying about things.

My mom knows when something is real and something is not.

I wish my mother had left me something about how she felt growing up. I wish my grandmother had done the same. I wanted my girls to know me.

One can be a brother only in something. Where there is no tie that binds men men are not united but merely lined up.

All men profess honesty as long as they can. To believe all men honest would be folly. To believe none so is something worse.

Something unpleasant is coming when men are anxious to tell the truth.

All soldiers who serve their country and put their lives at risk need to know that if something happens to them their families will be well taken care of. That's the bond we have with our military men and women and their families.

Happy is he who still loves something he loved in the nursery: He has not been broken in two by time he is not two men but one and he has saved not only his soul but his life.
