Mothering is one of the most beautiful experiences of my life.

Young people - there's been very little places in positions of authority in law enforcement for young people's skill sets, but the truth is we need them.

A lot of being an actor is being something that people imagine you to be.

One of the most disturbing things I heard was that women's issues weren't "hot." Which is so ironic, because women are constantly being judged on some "hot" level. The conversation is not hot enough for them to do anything about. We have to make it hot, make them feel the fire. Until then, a lot of them aren't going to do anything.

I think there can always be beauty in struggle. I mean, as far as childbirth, I had my son in the hospital, but then I had my daughter at home. There's no doubt that there's a struggling in birth, and a beauty and a horror and fear and joy too.

I know I love my kids and I know they love me. I know I have beautiful friends and a great family, and I know I've been really blessed in this life.
