My friend, Sue Ann, in college pulled me aside and said, 'Honey I love you but you have got to start waxing your eyebrows. They look wild!' So thank you , that kinda changed my life.

I think it's a tough road if you're a stay-at-home mom, a working mom, if you have a partner, if you don't. It's the best job in the world, and the toughest job in the world all at the same time.

I keep lip gloss everywhere. It always makes me feel like I am slightly put together.

My mom, the fabulous Bertie Kinsey, is an amazing seamstress. She quilts and sews and is so crafty. We call her the Southern Martha Stewart!

Now that I'm a mom, I'm way more laid back. If you come into my house, don't look for a coaster. Forget it. There is not a piece of furniture in my house now that is too precious.

I grew up overseas in Indonesia, and my school had a great art, music, and theatre program.

I have a very normal life. I go to the grocery store, I go to Target. I don't have an assistant, I don't have an entourage.

I don't want to live in a world where I could say to my daughter, 'There used to be turtles that swam in the ocean.'

I have a special place in my heart for working moms - it's a constant pull on your heartstrings.

Cats are more interesting, let's face it. Dogs are loveable and a bit boring.

Seriously, I will probably out-talk you if you come up to me because I'm a chatterbox.

I've been getting into drinking smoothies in the morning - I like those a lot.

The prince is never going to come. Everyone knows that; and maybe sleeping beauty's dead.

The time is a critical one, for it marks the beginning of the second half of life, when a metanoia, a mental transformation, not infrequently occurs. (on being 36 yrs old)

I want to own a team one day. You know, that's my next goal.

No other group (traditional Christians) is so consistently maligned on prime-time television. These defamatory portrayals betray a deep-seated hostility.

Well, it has been rather hectic since the 11th of September, and even before then it was quite busy.

Sarah Palin's a quitter.

I have never actually watched 'Glee.' I have heard it is just fantastic.

I have a very full and busy life and occasionally I am asked, Scotty, how can you do all that you do? The most telling reply I can give is: Because I spend at least two hours a day doing nothing.

You might have extensive bouts of thinking exceedingly nasty thoughts, but because you are relating to those thoughts with mindfulness and compassion, that's considered good meditation.
