Our bodies are machines and have to be functional, and to do that they have to be fed properly.

There's no such thing as a supermom. We just do the best we can.

I traveled and worked with amazing actors, like Andy Garcia, Alec Baldwin, Brendan Fraser, Forest Whitaker, Lee Pace. It was this great learning experience. And then, I started watching a lot of television. I was always in these foreign countries and I would get TV shows on DVD, and I started to realize that all of the amazing roles for women were on television. I was spoiled by Buffy because I thought that was the way it was everywhere, and it's not.

I was young. I was newly married. And I had worked like a dog. I just wanted to live and travel.

I like food. I like eating. And I don't want to deprive myself of good food.

If you love someone and you choose to spend the rest of your life with that person, that's your partner in every way.

When I'm with my kids, I definitely try and be in the moment and wait till the end unless the mess poses a real danger, like slipping. But when I am cooking by myself, I definitely clean as I go to simplify.
