 I don't remember my mother ever playing with me. And she was a perfectly good mother. But she had to do the laundry and clean the house and do the grocery shopping. |
| And I find it very easy to memorize the scripts, which are so close to conversations my husband and I have. |
| It's a little bit in the genes because my brother is a journalist and my father was a sports writer. |
| Some people are cool with the fact that their bodies bear witness to this great thing they produced, their children, and I understand that. But on a personal level, it makes me feel better that my breasts are not down to my knees when I'm undressed in front of my husband. |
| Men are very competent in their workplace - and this is going to sound sexist - women are better at running households and juggling lots of things, kids and scheduling and that kind of thing. |
| Boys wear their hearts on their sleeves. Even when they're trying to pull one over on you they're so transparent. Like men. |
| It's hard enough to work and raise a family when your kids are all healthy and relatively normal, but when you add on some kind of disability or disease, it can just be such a burden. |
| When it comes to accepting emotional support or affection, I'm a little guarded and hardened to that. |
| I was raised Catholic and I'm Presbyterian now, but I've always been a Christian, regardless of denomination. I believe that Jesus is the way. |
| I've always been an independent person, but that independence was in the setting of security. |
| Plastic surgery is like a big elephant sitting in the Hollywood living room. |
| I just don't know a couple that's been married more than three years that doesn't annoy the heck out of each other every 15 minutes. |
| I spend as much time with my kids as any mom who stays home. I only work during the hours they're at school, but there is always the sense of trying to catch up with all their stuff and not only organize my work life but also their school lives. |
| Home life is a foreign environment for most guys. So it's natural to show them being idiots at home. |
| I felt totally released from the need to make it as an actress. I had experienced complete fulfillment in something that had nothing to do with me being in the spotlight. |
| Before we had the kids, my husband and I were traveling a lot and working and really enjoying our lives and each other. We both love the theater and books and travel and so we were really having a lot of fun. |
