I'm built like a 14-year-old boy. I have no waist, so anything I wear has to have a lot of trickeration going on. I don't fit into girl dresses. I can't just slip it on.

We can't have iPads until after 7 p.m. Otherwise the entire day is, iPad time? What about now? It makes me crazy. And no TV on weekend mornings.

I think it's pretty common for people to get excited when they meet somebody that they know from the media.

Kids don't seem to recognize when they're hungry until they're starving and in the emergency zone, so I'm like, Who wants some apple slices and cheese?

I take the kids skiing every year, and my husband doesn't always go. The way I grew up, that's very normal. My mom would take us skiing, but my dad hates cold weather.

We've had four or five casts in three years. There was a point when I thought the Department of Children and Family Services was going to show up at my door!

At restaurants, I carry paper and markers and tell everyone to draw a picture with a unicorn, an octopus and an explosion. That keeps kids still for a minute.

I really like putting the kids to bed. Everyone is cozy and snuggly. Nobody is giving anyone a hard time, and everybody reads.

I'm in total celebrity denial in general, but there's awareness that probably if somebody has met you, they might go and tell somebody. I just would rather have the word on the street stay at a neutral, not like, She shows up in a ball gown, but She seemed nice. That's fine.

How many times can you say, No yanking on one another's genitals? Everything is hilarious until someone starts crying.

I was class mom at the preschool one year and I was pretty much asked not to do that again!

I use an app called ChoreMonster. The kids earn points for brushing teeth or picking up the dog poop. It's genius.

I'm so not stylish by nature, but I've learned to work with what I have.

I have this fancy Givenchy bag. I don't know what the Kardashians have in their bags - I bet they have really expensive products or six cellphones or something. I have a cellphone and some lipstick for me, and the rest is just filled with stuff for the kids - sunscreen and lip balm and little Ziploc bags of pretzels and cheese sticks.

[Preparing for award shows] gets insane. The dress, the hair, the makeup...I end up always picking the dress at the last second.
