There is nothing worse that a thirteen-year-old boy. You are embarrassed by your parents, and you are trying to find your independance because, deep inside, you are so dependent on your mom.

A friend of my mom's was a casting director so, really as kind of a lark, I had a couple of acting jobs that had just enough exposure to give me the option to continue if I wanted to. I followed through with it.

I am a religious person. I remember my mom told me: Vengeance belongs to God. It is up to him to wreak vengeance. It is hard for me to get to that point, but that is the work of God.

Sunscreen is my number 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 tip. I am a fanatic, partially because I live in L.A. and have fair skin and freckles, and partially because of my kids. My mom always made me wear sunscreen and I am trying to be that mom for them.

I have actually suffered from allergies my entire life. My mom had allergies, so I was aware of what an issue they can be. Many people allow their allergies to affect their lives. As a mom with two kids and two jobs, I just can not let allergies slow me down. It is a day to day thing that can really be remedied by finding the right medication.

My mom was paranoid about my safety.

Mom was a smoker. My grandfather was a smoker. My aunts were smokers. My uncles were smokers. I do not know any smokers now, not even my mom.

My mom enlisted in the U.S. Navy in World War II, and my parents actually bought our home thanks to the loan she got through the GI Bill.

My dad is like a cactus - introverted and tough. I am a people person, like my mom, but I got my competitiveness from my dad. He came to this country from Belarus with nothing and built a real business. He is my hero for giving me that need to run a business and for having enormous confidence in me.

People who build family businesses are not classically trained. They have to deal with an enormous amount of politics. You think corporate politics are tough? Go work for your dad or your mom.

It is about getting the kids up and fed, getting one to school, getting the other down for a nap, going to the grocery store, picking one up from school, getting the other one down for another nap, cooking dinner... I live my life at these two extremes. I am either a full-time stay-at-home mom or a full-time actress.

I remember, my mom did not have any help, so if she needed to be somewhere after school, we'd just go down to the neighbors and she'd give us a snack and make sure we did our homework. There weren't any latchkey kids.

My mom has always said that the one thing she wishes she had done differently is have a job. She felt like the single-mindedness made her a little nuts sometimes, and she could have used an outlet for herself when we were little.

My mom grew up in poverty in Oklahoma - like Dust Bowl, nine people in one room kind of place - and the way she got out of poverty was through education. My dad grew up without a dad, with very little and he also made his way out through education.

My mom was really vigorous about making sure that we saw things and that we questioned things. Education was so important to both of my parents.

I have always wanted to be a mom at 23, 24ish, ever since I was a little girl. I am right on schedule.
