My 3am wake up call sounds a lot different now. Sweeter...

When I was in college, there were a couple years there where I was just not sure what to do, and it was actually my mom who suggested I take some journalism classes.

As my mom says, I was a little bit of a slacker in high school. I really was just kind of unmotivated, a little bit lazy, so my grades weren't that good.

I would never put my job before my family.

I never have any clothes to go out in, because I always just buy for work. I don't know why. Habit.

I love books that rhyme. And I love books that are clever and have little lines in them that are meant to amuse the parents who will no doubt be reading the book over and over and over again.

One of the things I love about New York is that it's one of the only places where you could have an entire restaurant dedicated to macaroni and cheese.

I should get a manicure more often.

There is a difference between civil partnerships and marriage. That difference does not mean one is better than another.

If I had my way, I'd do all my entertaining on the front steps

He who has got more than that is required to fulfill his basic need spends his resources, more often than not, on the people and the products that he does not actually need.

I have a big personality, and I think big personality plus blond hair makes me come across as glib. With dark hair, people look at your face more. Before, it was all about the hair.

Wearing nice lingerie makes me feel really glamorous. I love to splurge on that.

They are the silent griefs which cut the heart-strings.

If you are honest with yourself and if you want to like what you see in the mirror, is you have to say what you really believe.

I see no conflict between science and religion. When you take truth in either one of these realms, science or religion, they match perfectly.

Oh, I so don't care about the podium at the Oscars. I've stood at the podium at the Oscars and that's close enough. To be a presenter is as close as I need to be.

It is not the nature of love to force a relationship, but it is the nature of love to open the way.
