I always remind my kids, "I'm your parent, but I'm a human being, too, so I may not be perfect."

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

I'm not a prettier everywoman. I am an everywoman that they clean up awfully well for T.V.

If I've had a bad day, if I'm feeling stressed out, if I'm feeling overwhelmed - it takes it all away. It's my antidote for everything. If I feel any sort of emotional upheaval, I go for a jog and I feel better.

If there's cheesecake in the house, I'll have some.

If you're a waiter and you're waiting on me, you might get five percent, you might get seventy percent. It depends on how bad my math skills are that day.

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.
