I'm in total celebrity denial in general, but there's awareness that probably if somebody has met you, they might go and tell somebody. I just would rather have the word on the street stay at a neutral, not like, "She shows up in a ball gown," but "She seemed nice." That's fine.

We make them [kids] earn the stuff they want. They're not going to play with their iPad today unless they do their chores.

I count myself lucky to be fairly anonymous but occasionally have people tell me nice things.

I take the kids skiing every year, and my husband doesn't always go. The way I grew up, that's very normal. My mom would take us skiing, but my dad hates cold weather.

Success is getting up one more time than you fall down.

I really like putting the kids to bed. Everyone is cozy and snuggly. Nobody is giving anyone a hard time, and everybody reads.

I feel the most pulled together when I'm going for the tomboyish thing.
