I have an incredible role model in my mom. She was a single mother raising two kids in New York.

When you live in America, it's kind of insular - the news coverage that you get - unless you're really smart about it and find more international news coverage. I've learned that from my husband. In the French culture, they talk politics.

I had this roommate in college who would get up almost 2 hours before class to do hair and makeup. That's not for me.

When I need a break from the boys, I go with my girlfriend to buy pretty little dresses for her daughter.

Maybe because I didn't have a huge film career right off the bat, I've been able to create something different, which is so important to me. That's myself, my idea of who I am.

I think it's necessary to let kids get bored once in a while-that's house they learn to be creative.
