I had a gorgeous mom. She was beautiful, so I lucked out there.

My work makes me a better mom. It gives me a little door to step out of my parenting and bring the excitement from my day back home.

I've been a vegetarian since I was about 12 years old. When I became a vegetarian, I got my mom and dad to become vegetarian, and my brother became a vegetarian.

Because I'm an older mom, I have a responsibility to my kids as well as myself. I want to be there for them.

My mom was always my biggest teacher, my inspiration, my role model. My mom was just the most amazing person. She was like a bon vivant in that she just lived each day to the fullest. As soon as I became a vegetarian, she became a vegetarian.

I've had injuries in my life from things beyond my control: runaway horses, helicopters that decide to crash on mountaintops, boating accidents - things that were out of my hands.
