Trying to be Supermom is as futile as trying to be Perfect Mom. Not going to happen.
There is nothing like becoming a mom to fill you with fear.
I always wanted to be a mom.
I auditioned on my own. I tried to make a mark for myself without anybody's help, not even Mom's.
My earliest acting memory is making up a play for my mom and dad called The Lonesome Baby. I have no idea what The Lonesome Baby was about. I just remember the title. But I'm sure it was an epic.
I lived in small town out in the desert and my friend used to steal his mom's car in the middle of the night. He'd drive over to my house, I'd sneak out and we'd go out to the desert and just burn things down.
Mom and Pop were just a couple of kids when they got married. He was eighteen, she was sixteen and I was three.
I was always at peace because of the way my mom treated me.
My mom decorated with lots of antiques. I never liked it when I was a little girl - I wanted to live in a modern house. But now I love it.
When you're a mom and you have three children, nothing bothers you. Trust me. Who cares what people say? I've got other things to deal with.
My Mom is a ballet director, so I had this idea in me that classical training is the best foundation for anything you do, so I wanted to get a classical background and voice.
I'm a '70s mom, and my daughter is a '90s mom. I know a lot of women my age who are real computer freaks.
Dad and mom would have preferred that I be a doctor, a lawyer, a scientist, or a great humanitarian.
I spend as much time with my kids as any mom who stays home. I only work during the hours they're at school, but there is always the sense of trying to catch up with all their stuff and not only organize my work life but also their school lives.
I feel like I'm a stay-at-home mom, which I was for the five years before this. She's absolutely been my focus. That's the choice I made. Desperate Housewives is perfect for me. I get to go back to work and still be able to take my daughter to school and pick her up.
