I think a lot of times we can get distracted and not be in the moment with people and be missing all the life happening in the moment.

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 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 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.

To lust for something is desire turned selfish and gone mad. To embrace God’s passion is desire turned selfless and gone mindful.

Time is an excuse to delay.

It's a thanksgiving to God. It's something I have wanted to do for a long time, but the record company wasn't ready for it. So I did it myself.

Something as simple as better breastfeeding could save a million children a year.

Pedagogically, we need definitions and borders. They help us get our heads around what we're talking about.

I might not be able to hold my drink or my man, but what I can hold, is a tune. Point me in the right direction and give me a bloody mic.

Membership of an organisation is good, as long as you can make yourself heard.

I'm not excited when bands strip things down. I'm not excited by the White Stripes.

Our camels plodded along. Katrina tried to kiss, or possibly spit on Hindenburg, and Hindenburg farted in response. I found this a depressing commentary on boy-girl relationships.

I believe I may so, looking into my own heart, and speaking as in the presence of God, that I have never know one moment of bitterness or resentment.
