My life comes down to three moments: the death of my father, meeting my husband, and the birth of my daughter. Everything I did previous to that just doesn't seem to add up to very much.

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 don't understand what people's fascination is with [our] relationship. If we're in the same city, we go out... Sometimes when I'm in L.A., I stay at his [Ben Affleck's] house. But it's not what people think. We're not together, I swear on my life.

I try to remember, as I hear about friends getting engaged, that it's not about the ring. It's a grave thing, getting married.
