I'll quit tanning when the satchel handle grows out of my back.

I'm usually done with work around 11am, so I have time before I pick the kids up from school.

I'm like any working mom.

There's no such thing as an uber-mom.

Your crew becomes your family and you trust the director and the other actors on the set, and it's a very safe place.

It's such a stress always trying to get bigger houses and larger cars and better schools. Of course, parents want to give their children the best opportunities in life, but sometimes that can stifle them.

Writing with kids is an adventure. It seems like someone always has the flu or pink-eye. I mean, you don't even have to be in direct contact with anyone to get pink-eye. But for parents who write, flexibility becomes essential, and as long as I have a pad of paper and a pen, I can write anywhere. Starbucks is fine.

When I got pregnant, I started singing again. It was my saving grace. I literally mean having this amazing human life, and our relationship in the sense of mother and child, redeemed my soul.
