I think as much as we're cyber connecting it's really nice to just sit and talk, and have that ritual.
When I cook, I mean when I'm working crazy hours I always do Sunday dinner and I'm not afraid to ask for help, whether it's from Boston Market or from my friends to bring a dish ... it's all about community and really connecting.
I think it's also different when you're younger, too and your whole life is exposed. You know, it is probably exhausting and a little spiritually depleting, but you just find ways to fill up and do things For me it's simple things.
When everyone's kind of watching you when you're out and about, it makes it hard.
I love to kind of people watch; that's part of what I do as an actor and creative person and sort of step back and watch others.
Everything also calms down with the influx of social media, there's so much happening all the time.
I sort of watched everyone go through it on that show ["Grey's Anatomy" ] because I came on later in the first season, so I kind of watched everyone else go through it but really I am so grateful and blessed and feel I have had such a great career and I love that fans love the shows that I do, and so when I get approached I still, I go, "Oh, thank you. That makes me feel good."
I feel so lucky that I've been on shows that have been by and large critically acclaimed and that audiences like it.
I think for Thanksgiving particularly I've always, one of the fun things for me about doing a big dinner is having friends and family so we've always done that, and even through our other holidays like having a mix of friends and family, and if you don't have your family nearby, or it's tough for you, find a friend and go and eat with them.
Even when I lived in Chicago and I didn't have any family there, I would just go like I would be a guest and have dinner with a bunch of friends and do potluck or something. So I think that's it, just finding people that you love that love you and hang out with them.
I love cooking but I still always go and sneak a little bit of sides from Boston Market, and it's so good. They're so good.
I have a lot to be grateful for. I really do kind of get into the holiday spirit and try to find something to be grateful for anyway but this is the time of year so.
I've been working with Operation Smile for a number of years, and $240 changes and saves, in many cases, saves a child's life. But one of the things I'm super excited about is my partnership with Boston Market this holiday season and we've partnered up not only to help everybody out during the holidays because we know how crazy it gets.
