I have a neuroscience background - that's what my doctorate is in - and I was trained to study hormones of attachment, so I definitely feel my parenting is informed by that.

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'm definitely on the spectrum of socially awkward.

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.

Without desires and dreams, your thoughts do not matter and you can think whatever you want to.

The moral of the story was that if you can talk, it's better not to tell the truth.

The highest result of education is tolerance

If it's not in your heart you're not gonna make it. At the end, looking back, you know its worth it.

It's not the big things that add up in the end; it's the hundreds, thousands, or millions of little things that separate the ordinary from the extraordinary.

The Lord is letting the wheat and the tares mature before he fully purges the Church. He is also testing you to see if you will be misled. The devil is trying to deceive the very elect.

There are a lot of people in Milwaukee who have had adverse impacts from Scott Walker. He's managed to mess over everyone in Milwaukee.

Just give me a good role that allows me to hone my craft and I am a pretty happy camper.

What a difference one person can make!

Really, life is full of contradictions. Life is messy.
