I look for people who have a slightly different perspective and are trying to move the needle a little bit and push boundaries.

Physically, it completely changed me. I found strength that I never thought I had. And mentally, I mean, it's taught me just patience and letting go, and it's really changed my whole psychological outlook, I think.

~I think what surprised me the most about motherhood, as sentimental as it sounds, is how much I love my kids. I mean, I just can't believe it. It's like a whole new dimension in emotion that I've never experienced.~

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

It's the difference between someone who loves you more than anything in the world giving you criticism and getting it from some bitter stranger on the Internet. What my dad said to me was the kind of criticism where I was like, "Oh, my God, I'm on the wrong track." I'm so grateful to him for doing that. He was such a no-nonsense guy in that sense.

I really worry about the state of the planet and I wish everyone would make a concerned effort not to trash it.

What I've learned is I want to enjoy my life, and food is a big part of it.
