One hundred percent my mother, who would always say, "If you want something done, do it yourself." She must have said that 100 times to me - as a child, as a young woman, yesterday on the phone.

No woman's getting hired because of her potential. I hope that we can invest more in female potential.

I like my body so much better after I had kids. Is that a crazy thing to say? I'm more womanly. I feel sexier.

When people get in your face and say, 'This will pass,' you think, Are they crazy? I'm never gonna feel any better than I feel right this minute and nothing's ever gonna make sense again... You see a lot of people play this blame game. Blame, blame, blame. You know? And it's a really easy thing to do, and I'm certainly guilty of it. [You have to] look at yourself and go, 'What part of this do I need to own? Which part of this is my responsibility?' And that's the painful work that you have to go through to hopefully get some real life knowledge out of it.

If something seems frightening or horrible, I should probably do it.

I don't think I realised how stressed I was, being a single parent. It was really, really stressful. It's not easy on anybody.

Confidence is everything in this business.
