Sleeping is not something I do a lot of.

I work out every day. It's part of my life. That's one of the benefits of having kids in school full-time. I do it more for my insides than my outside, but the outside gets a nice benefit, too. I feel like my mind is a little quieter when I exercise. And I don't have the best family history heart-wise, so I really try to keep my heart strong.

I'd rather not have a moment when I'm known for my looks; being funny and interesting lasts longer.

I'm not militant about anything. If there's cheesecake in the house, I'll have some. If I'm in the mood for something, I'll have it. I don't obsess about anything. I could have three or four "cheat days" in a week and then not have dessert for another three months.

Having been a cheerleader, I know all too well what these girls give up to join forces and compete.

I think children are like pancakes. You sort of ruin the first one, and you get better at it the second time around.

I try to make my heart beat out of my chest, hard-core, once a day for at least a half hour. I think that's very important.
