Even if you plan a marriage and a family, you are never quite prepared for the reality versus how you imagined it. In a lot of ways it's better, and in a lot of ways it's worse. That's life, right?

Marriage is actually really terrifying. It doesn't work for many people.

Isn't it so weird the day you wake up and you're just going with the flow? And you just suddenly are a mom.

I'm a sappy mom now. I didn't think I would be. I thought I'd be a cool mom who keeps everything in perspective.

I'm terrible with patience.

I'm not out burning bras, but I'm very opinionated about women owning their power.

I can't cultivate a relationship with my child if it's between takes. I tried that on a movie and realized, 'This is not going to work.' It will work some of the year, but not 12 months a year.

I still love the theology of the Mormon religion and think it is a wonderful way to grow up.

My mother is a great source of advice and wisdom and consolation for me.
