You know, I loved math. My mom was a math teacher.

I was never the 'babe,' so I knew I'd never get those big roles. I'd always be the best friend or the quirky sidekick.

Skating is big in Chicago. There's a lot of hockey; a lot of the boys play hockey. And figure skating is big.

We need comedies in the world! We need to laugh, it's all so hard.

Don't live vicariously through your kids or try to shape them into who you wanted to be, like the popular kid or an athlete. Children should be given the opportunity to be themselves.

I think that everything's hard now anyways, so you might as well do stuff that you love and believe in.

Sometimes I sing and dance around the house in my underwear. Doesn't make me Madonna. Never will.

I play- it's kind of like a slice-of-life, LA women in their forties, playing forty kind of what's their friendship like, and what's their life like and so I just play one of the four friends.

It's important to being a healthy person. So while you're here on the earth, you might as well enjoy it. And it's hard to enjoy things when you're crazy.

Can they do both? That's a huge balance, I think, with kids- trying to find the right- it's everything, you know, it's social life, it's academics, it's sports.

A relationship is hard in and of itself. And having kids is really hard work, but I think it's really meaningful, as is a relationship. But they all take work.

Give a man a finger, he’ll put a wedding ring on it!

Give a girl a boyfriend and she becomes a total expert on relationships

At the very top state institutions, like UCLA, Berkeley and the University of Texas, however, the trend of downward minority enrollment remains persistent and discouraging.

Great is the power of steady misrepresentation; but the history of science shows that fortunately this power does not long endure.

Perhaps even more than constituted authority, it is social uniformity and sameness that harass the individual most.

Only we should not be influenced by the winds.

Perfection consists not in doing extraordinary things, but in doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.

I believe that there is a longing in my soul that searches the whole world.
