I'm very homework-oriented - I'm a little Tracy Flick-ish.

I know what the intimidation level of high school is. You're on a hamster wheel, running, running, running, trying so hard to fit in. It's all about how you deal with what you're given, feeling OK with being the odd man out before you're finally successful.

I don't cook, I can't cook, and it is really abominable to see me in the kitchen. I order in takeaway food or get my friends to cook because a lot of them are very good.

I always thought I desperately wanted a husband and a big family, because I didn't have it growing up.

I'm a real stay-at-home mom. I'm really hands-on. Everything else became secondary.

There's something liberating about not pretending. Dare to embarrass yourself. Risk.

I'm not a very organized person for being uber work-obsessed. I struggle to keep it all organized because everything can become important and, when you have so many spinning plates, they sometimes can cancel each other out because you lose track of everything.
