Kristen Bell Covers 'Vegas' February 2012

Kristen Bell is red hot on the cover of Vegas‘ February issue.

Here’s what the 31-year-old House of Lies actress had to share with the mag:

On not rushing into a wedding with fiance Dax Shepard: “We consider ourselves already married-we already wear the rings. I don’t want a wedding. It’s too much stress.”

On acting but also making time for herself: “I enjoy pretending and being a part of telling stories that may just simply entertain people. But it also may break the fourth wall, force them to have a catharsis, teach them something, or just allow them to escape … I had a desire to slow down a little bit, and to make sure I never lose myself. I like the characters I play – I like Jill, I like Jeannie – but I love Kristen. It’s how I feel at the end of a long day of shooting. I like being an actress so much. It’s the only thing I ever wanted to do, but I love being a human being.”

You can catch Kristen on House of Lies Sundays at 10 p.m. on Showtime!
