When I was a kid, everything was so unplanned, my parents were so erratic, and my world was so inconsistent.

I think the world offers so many wonderful varieties of obstacles, but that shouldn't be one for kids - is the worry that 'my parents wont be there.'

I'm such a profound believer that timing is everything; I would tattoo that on my arm.

My mother used to dress rather risque when I was a kid, and that sort of shocked me. I always thought moms were supposed to wear cardigans and flats, but she was in leather bracelets and minidresses. In hindsight, it was pretty cool, but I'm probably more conservative because of it.

My whole life, I've wanted to feel comfortable in my skin. It's the most liberating thing in the world.

I'm a real stay-at-home mom. I'm really hands-on. Everything else became secondary.
