My mother is who she is. I've become who I am. At some point I realized those two just didn't go together.

I make lots of casseroles that have protein, veggies, carbs and good fats all together.

I'm so blessed to have as many jobs that I have, but I do agree that there needs to be some downtime.

I want to be a cool mom.

There are days when I struggle with wanting to be a full-time, stay-at-home mom, and feeling guilty about that because I work.

During my first pregnancy, I spent a lot of time worrying about how big I was getting and how I would lose it afterwards.

You know, you only get one family, and you have to make it work.

I'm never as happy as when I'm pregnant. I literally would have 10 babies if I could!

BONN: I thought fatherhood was hard, and some people weren’t suited for it. But it’s not. Being a father, a good one, I mean, is about making a choice.

Authentic leadership is about leading from the core of who we are to inspire each of us to our best contribution toward a shared mission.

I want to take roles that challenge me and I want to like the script and obviously feel connected with the director because the director to me is so important.

When people think of the outcomes of their decisions, they think much more short term than that. They think in terms of gains and losses.

My God, it was like the Emerald City, and as you got closer you'd pick up your pace, and you'd give your tickets and go charging inside.

Solitude, the safeguard of mediocrity, is to genius, the stern friend, the cold, obscure shelter where moult the wings which will bear it farther than suns and stars.

I wanted to make room for antiheroes.
