All of [motherhood] surprised me. It surprised me from the very first second I saw Jack. I'd believed that my pregnancy was a condition. It never computed. And there he was. Everyone made fun of me because I stared at him for months and months, not being able to believe he was real.

All this nothing has meant more to me than so many somethings

There are assumptions made about the way you look. I'm always surprised when people don't think I'm smart.

But I'd like the pie heated and I don't want the ice cream on top I want it on the side and I'd like strawberry instead of vanilla if you have it if not then no ice cream just whipped cream but only if it's real if it's out of a can then nothing.

And who cares, five years down the road, what most movies made or didn't make? If it's good, it stands up.

What brings people down is the same thing over and over.

It would be really great if people would realize that stars are only people with the same weaknesses and flaws, not immaculate idols.
