Her parents gave her the nickname Busy, because as an infant she was always moving, the name stuck, and it even appears on her credit cards.

At 17, she worked the toy fair circuit as a real-life Barbie before making her show-business debut.

Filmed a pilot for a 2004 TV series for NBC called "Foster Home" with Macaulay Culkin, but the show was not picked up.

Longtime best friends with Dawsons Creek (1998) co-star Michelle Williams.

One of Busy's hobbies is designing, creating, and baking very intricate, theme based, custom designed cakes, such as a multiple level cake based on the movie Rapunzel - Neu verföhnt (2010) (based on the fairy tale "Rapunzel"), which she made for her 3 1/2 year old daughter, Birdie. Busy brought pictures of the "Tangled cake" for her March 14, 2012 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! (2003).

[on the death of James Gandolfini] So sad to hear about James Gandolfini. He was such an amazing actor and by all accounts a wonderful person.

I never underestimate the power of hot rollers for your hair and eyelash curlers for your eyelashes.

I'm kind of lucky that we've finished shooting 'Cougar Town,' so I'm able to kind of just enjoy my pregnancy and be a stay-at-home mom and go to prenatal Pilates and do all that fun stuff that, if I were working, would be almost impossible to do.

I like starting off the new year fresh. I'm excited to see how 2013 turns out. Maybe because I'm an actress and I am always on a diet and fitness program, but my New Year's resolution is to let myself be nice to myself about my body.

In high school I had some famously egregious fashion missteps. I was really out there in fashion, I think because I wanted attention. I would wear crazy patterns, skin-tight pants and giant platform shoes.
