"I love my job, but I'd rather just hang out with him all
day," says Combs (at home with Finley). "I can definitely
see me being a stay-at-home mom." |

“I was a very solitary kid and I didn’t have a lot
of friends when I was younger. Moving from
California to New York was a big change for me and I
didn’t fit in very well.” |

(Said after Finely Arthur Donoho was born) "Know I can fit in the Prada pants I never use." |

“When I got pregnant the smell of other people’s
cigarette smoke was so heinous to me that it made me
not want to have a cigarette ever again,” Holly
remembers. “It’s kind of like cheating when’ it’s so
easy to quit because you can’t take the smell!” |

When she married Brian Smith, she wasn't really
dating him. They had been sleeping together for
eight days when they decided to elope in Las Vegas. |

‘It
was actually really easy because I had already
started to cut down. My husband is asthmatic and he
just can’t for the life of him imagine why anybody
would put a smoke in their mouth, so he really
helped me to start cutting down.” |

"I've
been riding horses since before I could walk, so I
have a lot of saddles, including one that Shannon
[Doherty] bought me for my birthday that's hugely
expensive. The first time I rode in it, I took this
really long trail ride to break it in. I got bucked
off, got a huge concussion and went to the hospital.
After that, my boyfriend [David Donoho, 37, a
Charmed lighting grip] had a trophy made for me that
says 'Best Dismount on a Pleasure Trail,' and it has
my hospital tag hanging on it. It's really funny." |

(On her pregnancy in 2004) "When your only 5' 2", adding 23 pounds is a lot. My feet are just these poor red swollen things." |

|
"I
was the product of very young parents, and they had
wild ways. My mother was in a punk band. Rebelling
would have been learning to play the piano." |
|
| |
|
|
"The
grips are the manly men. I don’t have any interest
in a guy who doesn’t know the right end of a
screwdriver.” |
|
| |
|
|
"I
didn’t have my own bedroom until I had my own house.
So when I had the space, I started adopting dogs and
cats. Now I live on an acre. I have four horses. I’m
sure it seems weird, but the smell of horse @#$%! is
like coming home to me. It’s gross but true." |

"If
you're looking for someone with a big heart, what
the hell are you doing in New York?" |

confident." |

(About
buying a house) "I looked and looked. It became a
hobby." |
|

|

"I'm
the least 'babe' of the babes." |
|
| |
|
|
"I
was the angriest little person imaginable. I woke up
with a frown every morning. I barely talked, wore
black all the time, and had some serious teenage
rebellion years." |
|
| |
|
|
"I
never thought that this one shot of me taking my
shirt off could be freeze-framed into 15 different
pictures. All you had to do was search for my name
and the first thing that came up was 'Holly Marie
gets naked'. I was really lucky my pictures weren't
getting 1,000 hits a day. The guys who posted it
were like, 'Yeah, we'll take them down no problem.'
I guess that's the good part of being an
under-rated, under-valued..." |

"I
always thought that if I could recast myself, I'd
like to be cute, blonde and French." |

“I
think everyone should be sexually greedy.” |

"You
have my permission to make up any salami euphemism
you like." |

“There
are tons of people I'd like to freeze for all of
eternity, but we won't go into that!” |
|
| |
|
|
"My
mother's very proud of the name she gave me. She
thought it sounded rhythmically better. It doesn't
really make a difference to me what people call me,
but since my mother calls me Holly Marie when she's
angry, I prefer just my first name.” |
|

|
|
“Your
faith in yourself is all you will ever have. Don't
let anyone take it away from you, ever.” |

“No,
I was excited.” |

"Playing
Piper is exhausting! She constantly has some
problem. She panics at the drop of a hat! It was a
terrible character choice on my part to play her so
hyper, because by the time we do three or four days,
I'm like...ugh!" |
|

|
(Said on Charmed set) "I see Trolls!" |

[About
having a child, shortly before getting pregnant]
"For some reason everybody on the set - except for
me - thinks I should get pregnant for real. It's
like they all got together and I've been nominated!
Honestly, the thought of having a baby scares me!" |
|
| |
|
|
(On
the miracle of motherhood.) "Now, as an actress and
a person, it has completely broadened my horizons
because I have such a deep level of empathy for
everyone. It opens you up and you're like a bleeding
heart. It's funny, because you can be such a guarded
person in your personal life and try to protect
yourself from all these worries and hurts, but when
you have a kid, you're suddenly this feeling being.
When Finley gets his vaccinations, it kills me, and
you can't protect yourself from that. My heart is
being ripped out with every shot. It's a deeper
level of emotion that I wasn't prepared to feel, but
it's completely amazing. It has opened me up both as
a person and as an actress. Everything has a deeper
meaning now." |

(On
her baby, Finley) "Thank God, he's such a good
traveler. He adapts so well. He can pretty much
sleep anywhere. I was very, very worried about him
having a normal kind of life and being comfortable
and not carted around everywhere, but he's so good.
We went on location in Las Vegas with my husband and
we'd go out to the casino and he thinks there's just
a lot of people in the living room. Like, wow, it's
kind of loud and there's a lot of people here
today." |
|

|
|
(On
Alyssa & Rose's escapades with her baby, Finley)
"They take him in the makeup trailer and do bad
things to his hair. The girls gave him a Mohawk the
other day. So I can't let him out of my sight for
very long." |
|
| |
|
|
(On
motherhood) "It's weird. When you become a mom you
just learn how to function sleep deprived and you do
get used to it. I came back to work when he was
three months old and the first few months were
rough. And then somehow you learn to exist on no
sleep. And now when he does upon occasion sleep
through the night, which is like a full six hours,
you're pretty sure he's suffocating. So you don't
sleep anyway." |
|
| |
|
(On motherhood) "It's changed just about
everything about my life. It definitely puts
everything in perspective. Things that were so
important to you mean absolutely nothing and the
status of his diaper means absolutely everything." |
|
| |
|
"My mum is only 15 years older than me. She's
very young and we're incredibly close so I like to
spend time with my mum." |
|
| |
|
(On her Charmed-co-stars) "These girls, I mean,
Shannen was with me through every doctor's
appointment and held my hand, and Alyssa was in my
hospital room every day, she even climbed into bed
with me. These are kind of life-and-death things
when you really need people, and they're actually
there. It's pretty nice." - Holly, ("Charmed" Life) |

|
"As much as I loved 'Picket Fences,' she says,
'it was hard after a while to have all the arguments
and the crying. Too much crying and fighting!
Especially for my character, Kimberly, being the
teenager. So this looked like something that would
be totally different, I don't want to say a lot more
fun, but in a way more fun. |
|
| |
|
"And I get to play older, finally. That was
important to me. I think Kimberly aged two years in
four years, from 16 to 18. So it was exciting for me
to actually play someone closer to my own age." |
|
| |
|
"The WB never treated us well, so we didn't
expect a lot of farewell wishes and flowers or
cards." |
|
| |
|
(On Charmed) "There are occasional food fights.
We had Friday-night grape night. Because when I had
the scene with Josh and the wine, we started picking
up the plastic grapes and throwing them at each
other. By Friday night we were so tired, and the
director couldn't control us! There were grapes all
over the floor." |
|
| |
|
(About Charmed) " We have bloopers every day. You could basically sell our gag reel for money. I think some of our funniest moments are bloopers. We usually bump into something, drop something or break something." |
