I'd like to be a wife and mother. I guess I'll know Mr. Right when I meet him.
Oh my God, I can't believe what you did for me - thank you. I love you so much.
I've had the time to go through all the life phases with my parents, from being a bratty teenager, pushing them away, to saying later on, 'Oh my God, I can't believe what you did for me - thank you. I love you so much.'
Some people think wearing powder ages them, but try it anyway. For me it mattes my makeup and blends it well.
~I use humor instead of getting into that whole yes and no thing all the time. It's about just getting them to laugh rather than getting in power struggles.~
If I have a 12 or 14 hour workday, I am home the next. I cut out anything that is frivolous or doesn't need to be done.
I really romanticized being pregnant. Then I realized, this is awful!
I would ask my dad what he did, and he'd say, 'I listen to people's problems.' In some way what he did for a living is in my genes.
I try to balance it out on the whole. Being a mum is always the priority. Next, it's taking care of yourself. Right now, I get to only work two days a week - it's a dream. I can't imagine how hard it is for mothers who work 40 hours a week.
I like bringing the girls on set, but if I can't do that then the next day I feel I have to be uber-mum to make up for it. Then I'm exhausted and feel like I'm running in fumes.
I have good genes in my family, so we'll see just how long I'll be around.
I really love and it is important to me to be physically fit.
What I lack in energy, I have in wisdom.
I don't want to lose my fitness. I'm 45. I have two babies. I've got a long way to go and I want to keep in tiptop shape. There's no magic bullet.
