When I was in my early 20s, I had my hair permed. Bad Idea! It turned into total frizz. My advice to women is: if you have nice hair already, don't get a perm, leave your hair alone.

I think people were expecting me to be that kind of glamorous sexpot. So they were always, Wow you're not what I expected.

Just having someone make you laugh so hard that it hurts is so healing to me.

I don't have to be an expert. I just have to care.

The definition of inspire is 'to fill with the urge or ability to do or feel something, especially to do something creative.' There you have it: Jeffrey Bilhuber inspires me. I watch him make his magic, and I want to do the same. Those are always my favorite people, the ones who are so alive in the practice of their art that I want to jump in and join the fun.

People who overcome their fears every day, without fanfare, without recognition. Quiet, everyday courage, that’s what I admire most.

You make sacrifices to become a mother, but you really find yourself and your soul.
