Motherhood is beautiful. Everything [my son] does makes me so happy.

I have these big piano-playing hands. I feel like I should be picking potatoes.

I still love being creative. I still love the aspects of working together with great, talented people. But it's a weird dichotomy; I'm being blessed with more opportunities, but I'm going to be taking less of them.

You don't. It doesn't work. One day, you wake up, and you've learned how to store it, and you go to another part of the heart.

My life changes dramatically every time I get up out of bed. After my proposal life changed in that I wasn't asked to change. I always thought that marriage meant someone was going to ask you to stop being who you were. And I met someone who not only wants me to be who I am but likes it. So, my life changed in that my views towards marriage stopped being morbid. I found I was ready to be a good partner where I don't think I was a very good partner to people before. I stepped up my game.
