When you have children, you realise you can't plan anything. There's no Plan A, no Plan B. Life will happen and you will go with it.

I can't help but be a different person now that I've had kids. That really does change your whole perspective on life for the better.

I am a lover. And with my kids I am even softer. I realize with my son, I have to sometimes be tough, especially now when he's pushing boundaries. With my daughter, I can get a little stern with her and she pretty much will listen.

You have to come in and be that character when you walk into the room. That's what one of my first acting teachers taught me. You know, don't go in there being Jennifer and then expect to flip and change, because they're not going to have that imagination.

You have to take care of yourself, your body, your mind, take care of your soul-be your own keeper.

You have to remember the value of your individuality - that you have something special and different to offer that nobody else can.

It's like being in the middle of a tornado. It's like, whooooooosh, you know what I'm saying? It's like Dorothy-you wake up and find yourself in the land of Oz.
