I never ever slept again after my first pregnancy.

Boredom is a great motivator.

So, you know, parenting is a very intimate and amazing experience and one of the best experiences of my life.

One feels so despairing on some levels about what's going on in our culture, in regards to things like gender inequality. But there is progress. There is enhanced empathy and respect for others, we are fighting the tide, even though it seems like a tug of war sometimes.

Nobody makes a movie about a woman in her mid-30s who wishes she could have met someone to have children with and still doesn't know where to find a date.

I love and adore being a mother. It's the greatest gift I've ever been given.

I think that life force is invaluable.
