Emily Deschanel

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

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

I love having a sister. Its a great relationship that you dont understand unless you have one, I guess.

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

I just came home and said, 'I'm a vegetarian.' My parents were very kind about it. And then, I became a vegan a year or two after that. Animal cruelty really got to me.

I've always loved action.

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

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

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 nice to have a sister with whom you can talk about your work and what happens in the industry. I value that.

I had a wonderful experience being Catholic.

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

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.

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.

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

Before I was a mother, when I played characters that were mothers, I used my imagination, of course.

I made a choice in life and got pregnant and had a child, and I want to put my child first.

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

I've certainly experienced being treated not as an equal.

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.

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

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.

My whole family is very sarcastic and constantly making jokes.

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

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