Mostly, I spend my time being a mother to my two children, working in my organic garden, raising masses of sweet peas, being passionately involved in conservation, recycling and solar energy.

We all have an obligation as citizens of this earth to leave the world a healthier, cleaner, and better place for our children and future generations.

I feel that its our children who do give us hope because they are the ones who are going to save the world.

I think I have a lot of crazy layers.

You learn more discipline in the theatre than you do in movies or TV. You're on stage every night and you have to sustain your energy level tor several hours.

If we have optimism without empathy then it doesn't matter how much we master the secrets of science. We're not really solving problems, we're just working on puzzles.

That's the thing about December: it goes by you in a flash. If you just close your eyes, it's gone. And it's like you were never there.

You listen to the intelligence community, they say, listen, maybe it's ISIS today, it's somebody else tomorrow. We'll deal with the caliphate, but it's going to take years to be able to handle this.

You have the exact qualities God knew your kids would need in a mother. Each day, hold up your willingness and ask God to make you the best version of you that you can possibly be.
