I feel the most pulled together when I'm going for the tomboyish thing.
I'm built like a 14-year-old boy. I have no waist, so anything I wear has to have a lot of trickeration going on. I don't fit into girl dresses. I can't just slip it on.
Everyone [of my kids] can ride a bike now, so the park has had a big resurgence in our life. We also play a lot of dumb drawing games.
Success is getting up one more time than you fall down.
Women in Hollywood are tiny, but women in soap operas are the tiniest people alive!
I would love to do more movies, but the reality is women have many more opportunities on television to play a greater variety of characters.
At restaurants, I carry paper and markers and tell everyone to draw a picture with a unicorn, an octopus and an explosion. That keeps them [kids] still for a minute.
I would like to say that I am a very relaxed, loving person who is not competitive, but that's a lie!
I was class mom at the preschool one year and I was pretty much asked not to do that again!
I don't always run in the mornings, but I am definitely better if I run in the mornings.
I take the kids skiing every year, and my husband doesn't always go. The way I grew up, that's very normal. My mom would take us skiing, but my dad hates cold weather.
I read books more than I go out.
I just can't seem to make myself care about what I look like when I am working out.
I had many decades of me time and now I just don't have that anymore. There are days when I rail against it.
