It's about getting the kids up and fed, getting one to school, getting the other down for a nap, going to the grocery store, picking one up from school, getting the other one down for another nap, cooking dinner... I live my life at these two extremes. I'm either a full-time stay-at-home mom or a full-time actress.

I am a bit of a goody-goody. Not that there aren't times when I think, I was kind of an (ass) today. I work in a world in which people are really catered to; someone will come up to me and say, "Is it OK if this person's makeup is done before yours for the premiere?"

I have always been drawn to child-related causes. I find that people listen to me more when I advocate for children now that I have my own.

It's not a bad thing, is it, to be strong in some ways and fragile and vulnerable in others?

I think all of us have our inner 13-year-old a lot closer to the surface than we're willing to admit even to ourselves.

The rule with marriage is the less you talk about it the better, as far as I can tell.

I have this internal battle between, I need to work, I need to work, I need to work and I need to be home with my kids. And the kids win.
