I've worked too hard all my life to have my kids control my life.

I tell my kids, 'I'm your father, not your friend - but I'm also the best friend you're ever going to have because no one is going to care for you the way I care about you.'

The amazing fact is that America is founded on a document. It's a work in progress. It can be tested by each generation.

We might be the holographic image of a two-dimensional structure.

I'm quite a broad girl, not at all delicate. I watch what I eat to stay in shape, but I'm against diets. I eat when I'm hungry, three meals a day.

I'm insanely girly. I like having the door opened for me. I want to cook dinner for my boyfriend. And I can't wait to have babies.
