Sarah Michelle Gellar on finding balance

Sarah Michelle Gellar, star of Scooby Doo and Cruel Intentions, has avoided the limelight for a while now, but she's back as the covergirl for SELF Magazine. Within SELF's pages, she talks about finding balance in a superficial industry. Here are some highlights of the interview:

• (When asked how she blows off steam): "Sometimes it's going to the gym. The endorphins and sweating and just getting it all out. Sometimes it's curling up on the floor and having a full-on conversation with my dog. Sometimes it's just taking a walk and clearing your head and just being reminded that life is pretty good. We all have bad days, but we bounce back."

• (When asked about her new hobby, biking) "I'm not a great biker. When you live in the suburbs, kids bike to school, but growing up in New York, my mom wasn't going to let me bike all over the city. So in the beginning when Freddie and I started biking around, he was like, 'Wow, you're a really bad biker!' And I said, 'What do you expect? I took taxis at age 8!' Down here in Tribeca, everyone bikes, and you'll see people-other actors-and they'll laugh when they see me with groceries biking so slowly with a basket and a helmet. I'm still getting better with it."

I really like SMG and think she has a great attitude towards fitness and life in general. And kudos to her for sticking to biking even if she's not the best at it. If you like her too, read the whole article and let me know what you think.
