My whole life story is kind of a backhanded compliment.

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.

I love my mom. My mom loves me. We don't have an easy relationship. I don't think we ever will, but I'd rather have a complicated, misunderstood relationship than have no relationship at all.

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!

Sometimes I do envision just being a stay at home mom but not working isn't an option for me currently.

I look at Liv Tyler and think 'It's not fair', because I can't find a flaw on her. And on top of that she seems nice, so it's really not fair.

Derek’s. Lucas’. Ben’s. It’s beyond me what I must do to make them realize that I’m neither object nor possession. I don’t belong to any of them.

I like criticism. It makes you strong.

Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot but make it hot by striking.

I think that you never fall out of love with somebody, you just let go and move on.

You want to know the hardest thing about being smart? What? I pretty much always know what's going to happen next; there's no suspense.

Why are there no names for the abscence of things? Why is there no name for the abscence of humanity?

I grow tired of 18th century moralities in a 20th century space-atomic age

Just as Parkinson's isn't a big topic of conversation in my house, neither is my career.

We have a lot of long narrative poems written in the 20th century, but they're not very well known, and they're not read by very many people.

I saw a large, red dried swath that I immediately identified clearly as blood. I covered the war in Vietnam. I saw a lot of it [blood] there.
