Well, you can't be trying to achieve success of any kind in this business without accepting that there's going to be a flip side to it.

I remember, my mom didn't have any help, so if she needed to be somewhere after school, we'd just go down to the neighbors' and she'd give us a snack and make sure we did our homework. There weren't any latchkey kids.

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.

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

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.

You know how as a kid you picture yourself with a tall, handsome husband, and you imagine him cuddling your baby? Ben is like that, like, on crack.

I do think about aging. I have those moments of panic and vanity, but life keeps getting better, so you can't worry about it too much.
