The amazing thing about becoming a parent is that you will never again be your own first priority. The gift of motherhood is the selflessness that it introduces you to, and I think that's really freeing... I think it allows you to put yourself in other people's shoes...the empathy that it slugs you with, being a mother. And I think it makes you a better storyteller.

I could find David Beckham naked in a cardboard box on my doorstep and I would drop him off at the pound.

It would be so depressing to be a model and not get to say a word. There's no personality involved.

Oh God, to think that you only fall in love once in your entire life is such a depressing thought.

I think it's very healthy to spend time alone. You need to know how to be alone and not be defined by another person.

In fact, I'm softer than I've ever been, including that unfortunate semester in high school when I simultaneously discovered Krispy Kreme and pot.

I can never describe myself as a movie star. I don't know when that happens but it's certainly not me.
