I don't want to live in a world where I could say to my daughter, 'There used to be turtles that swam in the ocean.'

I think it's a tough road if you're a stay-at-home mom, a working mom, if you have a partner, if you don't. It's the best job in the world, and the toughest job in the world all at the same time.

I keep lip gloss everywhere. It always makes me feel like I am slightly put together.

My mom, the fabulous Bertie Kinsey, is an amazing seamstress. She quilts and sews and is so crafty. We call her the Southern Martha Stewart!

Now that I'm a mom, I'm way more laid back. If you come into my house, don't look for a coaster. Forget it. There is not a piece of furniture in my house now that is too precious.

I grew up overseas in Indonesia, and my school had a great art, music, and theatre program.

I have a very normal life. I go to the grocery store, I go to Target. I don't have an assistant, I don't have an entourage.

I have a special place in my heart for working moms - it's a constant pull on your heartstrings.

Cats are more interesting, let's face it. Dogs are loveable and a bit boring.

Seriously, I will probably out-talk you if you come up to me because I'm a chatterbox.

Cut down on your use of plastic shopping bags because many end up in the ocean.

The denial of language is a suicidal one and we pay for it with our own lives.

Her every movement transfixed him

Without patience one cannot get far in life.

With high hope for the future, no prediction is ventured.

I've been writing a lot of songs in twos, songs that are like twins in my mind.

Every time I plant a seed, He say kill it before it grow, he say kill it before they grow.

I don't believe in welfare.

Always define your area of excellence. Establish the area where you will be the best.

You push the button, we do the rest.

My father was never around, and my mother used to worry that the kids wont grow up to be connected to him.
