When my daughter Sabrina was 2 years old, the pediatrician told me it was time she quit using a pacifier because that could make her teeth crooked and even cause infections in her ears.

My husband is American but Italian. Then I have the Mexicano side. I see both in my kids. My daughter is more Italian - she leans towards pizza - and my son leans more towards guacamole and puts lime in everything.

If I see a now-28-year-old woman coming up to me, she's probably thinking of 'Juno' because she watched it with her parents when she was 18 years old.

I want to reach everybody, from the little girls who are 3 years old, to the grandmother who watches my soap, to a young man in love.

I think the first 10 years of my daughter's life were my mother's happiest, because she could finally have carefree time with a kid.

When my daughter was born, I called her Ella Bella Mandela, because she was born the day after Mandela was released from prison.
