Any mom who tells you that she does it effortlessly is not telling the truth.

I think that if you start teaching about giving back and helping other people young, that will be a given for your child their whole life.

I know first-hand the challenges that come with being an on-the-go mom, and I am constantly looking for great products that fit into my busy schedule. I've tried every goop and elixir known to man.

If your potential mate does not have the same perspective that you do then you're going to be lost.

Charity should always be a constant.

I love New York City for its energy. Pebble Beach, Carmel Beach and that all area, for its completely laid back energy. Paris for the charm, shopping and the glamour.

I grew up at 'All My Children;' I got married, had a daughter and made life-long friends there!

All My Children taught me a great work ethic; you work so hard on a soap opera! It is a good way to start in the business, get success without getting a big head and learn your craft.

I don't watch a lot of TV. I am madly in love, I'm a big sap, I'm madly in love with Extreme Makeover Home Edition. I cry every week.

Emily Procter getting pregnant changed the show for me. I got so much more involved, which was so much fun! Now I feel like an action figure Barbie.

If ignorance is bliss, there should be more happy people.

Next time it'll be your nuts.

I read somewhere that some people believe that the entire universe is a matrix of living thought. And I said, "Man, if that's not a definition of God, I don't know what is.

In terms of my career, I am glad about the steps and moves that I have made. Because I would not want to blame anyone else but myself if anything goes wrong.

Talking to all those great writers and artists for the magazine was a form of graduate school for me.

Time enough to think of the future when you haven't any future to think of.

I have such a huge girl crush on Beyonce.

Above all else I am a dilettante in life.

Don't be afraid to close your eyes and dream, but then open your eyes and see

When words we want, love teacheth to indite; And what we blush to speak, she bids us write.
