Being a caregiver for your child is part of the job description of being a mammal.

Let’s reserve judgment for people who beat their children, sell their daughters into prostitution, or deny women the right to make decisions about their bodies and their lives.

I came to parenting the way most of us do - knowing nothing and trying to learn everything.

I don’t want to say everything happens for a reason, but every day is lined up right next to the other one for a reason. The best you can do is do each day well with kindness and as a good person.

Auditions are hard. You should see what most of the women look like when I audition for things - they look like they should be on the catwalk.

When you're used to being prepared to reject conventional wisdom, it leaves you open to learn more.

I think neuroscience is obviously very esoteric, but I think there are aspects of it that can absolutely be brought down to the level of an interested 11-, 12-, 13-year-old easily.

I don't wear pants, or like them; I'm a Jewish woman who's made the decision to wear skirts, so I wear mostly skirts past the knee.

Relationships are complicated no matter what style of parenting you choose.

Attachment parenting is not a passive parenting style.

Happiness is what you choose, what you follow, not what follows you. These are the things I have seen, these are the things I now know, these are the things I will carry with me as I go.

Anger at lies lasts forever. Anger at truth can't last.

I just [take pictures] because the camera is something to carry around in my pocket.

I can live with the pain of losing but I can't live with the thought of not having tried my best.

As our Father makes many a flower to bloom unseen in the lonely desert, [let us] do all that we can do, as under God's eye, though no other eye ever take note of it.

In the eye of that Supreme Being to whom our whole internal frame is uncovered, dispositions hold the place of actions.

There is nothing pleasanter than spading when the ground is soft and damp.

I feed the branches of the people.

Lots of ways to reach God, I chose love.

An unshared life is not living. He who shares does not lessen, but greatens, his life.
