When you are getting ready to become a mom, being in love with someone just isn't enough. You need to think about whether he would be a good parent and raise your children with similar beliefs.

Our family room, where we live, is about togetherness and ease. Nothing in my house is too formal. There are no coasters on tables; the kids can eat Popsicles on the couch if they want to. I let them ride these little cycles we got for them when they were 3 that have rubber wheels and no pedals.

I have cellulite. I admit it. But sometimes I just say, 'Screw it, I am going to wear a bikini.'

In the studio, I do try to have a thought in my head, so that it's not like a blank stare.

The face you have at age 25 is the face God gave you, but the face you have after 50 is the face you earned.

I don't think makeup is rocket science or a cure for cancer.

I just want to be a nice girl from the Midwest - I don't want to have to act like a heavy to be taken seriously, and I resent that I have to be so pushy and political sometimes just to do my job.
