Lacey Chabert

My mother and I have always had a very close relationship, so I wanted to honor my mom by naming my daughter Julia as well.

You can overcome anything.

I hope maybe I'll be in a Christmas movie that becomes part of someone's holiday tradition.

I was raised cooking my grandmother's food, my mom's recipes.

We always do a white elephant gift exchange on Christmas Eve, but my mom always gets really nice gifts for it. And we hang out in our PJs on Christmas Day.

I feel like I'm that typical new parent that's nervous about everything.

I would love for a 'Mean Girls 2' to happen.

Neve Campbell, Scott Wolf, and Paula Devicqu - we all keep in close touch. Especially now that I have the baby, I want to share her with my extended family. And I do consider them part of my extended family.

It's actually kind of a skill to act cold - to have the mannerisms of being cold when it's the complete opposite of how you behave when you're hot.

Christmas is my favorite time of the year.

Everyone can relate to being bullied. Everyone can relate to wanting to fit in and being part of a clique.

I like that, in voice acting, you can play different characters than you can when you're on camera and you're limited by your physical being.

I grew up with a little brother, and we would always watch 'Transformers' together, and he had all the toys. So I was really thrilled and honored to be a part of this franchise.

Playing a real-life character is definitely a lot more responsibility than one that is fictionalized.

I sing; I started my career at 9 years old in 'Les Miserables' on Broadway.

I absolutely love to laugh.

Jonathan Bennett and I are very close friends.

Navigating the transition from child actor to an adult actor isn't easy.

The judgment, criticism, and rejection you face as an actor can be overwhelming.

I had to have my first kiss in front of, like, a hundred people. I didn't know what to do. So my sisters told me to, like, practice on a pillow, you know? But it didn't kiss me back so I didn't know what to expect.

This is my dream. I've been doing this since I was a kid, and I've been blessed to work and be a working actor, and there's not a day that goes by that I'm not thankful for that, but my priorities have definitely shifted.

Meeting my daughter for the first time was the most special moment of my life. They laid Julia on my chest in the delivery room, and my heart completely melted. She was just so peaceful.

I need to decide whether to apply for college or delay it for a couple of years while I pursue some more acting projects. Right now I'm trying to sort things out, so I can make the right choices.

I don't want to be a 'teen star' because so many people don't ever grow out of that.

I like to take pictures of lots of things: people-such as my nephews, my dogs, and just interesting objects that I see. For instance, I might take a picture of flowers by the side of the road, an old sign or a fence.
