Taking care of yourself is being there for your kids, like how on a plane, they tell you to put on your oxygen mask first.

I think my days of trying outrageous things are over. I'm not looking for trends, I just want to be the best version of myself.

It's really hard to find things that are worth leaving them for. [Balancing work and motherhood is] really hard. One night in Nashville, my son was screaming with a terrible stomachache. I was like, 'I have to get out of here!' but we had to finish. My friend Jenno, a mother of three who was producing, was great, reminding me that nine times out of 10, they just have gas.

As you go through life you realize that the love that you have for the people in your life and their love for you is all that matters. It's really about how you regard them and how they regard you.

I wasn't the high-school play queen or anything. And my parents would let not me act until I graduated from college.

People who are criticizing... don't really get it, because if they did, they would like it.

I first had a version of this at a Japanese monastery during a silent retreat-don't ask, it's a long story.
