I'm hard on myself, so I'm working on shifting perspective toward self-acceptance, with all my flaws and weaknesses.

For me when I was growing up, some of the happiest times were when we went to a small island called Nantucket off Massachusetts.

Having survived her 10th London winter (she got through January by assigning it "international month," and amusing Moses and his big sister, Apple, 9, with a visiting Italian chef, Japanese anime screenings, and hand-rolled-sushi lessons, no less), Paltrow admits that her dreams of relocating the family to their recently acquired residence in Brentwood, California, are becoming ever more urgent.

Because I was newly pregnant, I was sick as a dog, yet I knew all my lines from a year before.

There's so many ups and downs, and there's so many pieces to trying to build a business, and if the intention isn't very, very clear and the business isn't reflecting that intention, then it makes it much harder.

I think my favourite thing is understanding the responsibility of raising two human beings and putting them into the world.

I have a very highly developed sense of denial.
