The 41-year-old is keeping busy and using her time to help others. She says, "I'm doing some volunteer work, but I don't want it to be about publicity. Like anybody, I have moments of feeling very low -- disenchanted or discouraged -- and one of the best ways out of that for me is to be of service."
Walsh says in order to have inner strength, "you have to have some kind of spiritual life." She remains close with her brother, friends, and a higher power. She confesses, "I have God and I have faith."Kate's hit show, "Private Practice," airs Thursdays on ABC.

Kate Walsh on Kissing Hot Guys, Body Image Issues

Kate Walsh stormed on to the set of 'Grey's Anatomy' as the villain who got in the way of Meredith and Derek but left with a successful show of her own in 'Private Practice.' She sits down with Michigan Avenue magazine to discuss her career and image issues in Hollywood.
Her Job: "It's not a bad way to make a living. It's kind of surreal -- I don't think anybody grows up thinking they're going to fake-make out with really hot guys on television."

Charity: "I'm doing some volunteer work, but I don't want it to be about publicity. Like anybody I have moments of feeling very low -- disenchanted or discouraged -- and one of the best ways out of that for me is to be of service."
What she was told early on in her career: "'You don't have it, you'll never make it.' If I were to listen to any of that ... I've always been too big-boned for this business. I think it’s crazy. We're not runway models -- we're actors. We're human."

Dieting: "I like to eat. If I try to diet it always backfires and I eat more. I can't starve myself or deny myself. It's about portion control for me. I try not to emotionally eat, but that's not to say that I don't have my late-night chocolate. There's always a chocolate bar in the refrigerator."
Her body now: "I'm in better shape now than I was in my 20s."
