I think children are like pancakes. You sort of ruin the first one, and you get better at it the second time around.
If you're a waiter and you're waiting on me, you might get five percent, you might get seventy percent. It depends on how bad my math skills are that day.
If I'm exhausted and I just don't feel like it, then I don't do it. I am a human being, after all. But I also know I'm the kind of person who, if I take one day off, well, it's very easy for me to take the next day off and then quit exercising.
I'm usually done with work around 11am, so I have time before I pick the kids up from school.
There's no such thing as an uber-mom.
If there's cheesecake in the house, I'll have some.
I'm not a prettier everywoman. I am an everywoman that they clean up awfully well for T.V.
I try to make my heart beat out of my chest, hard-core, once a day for at least a half hour. I think that's very important.
In some ways, her life is so much worse that everybody else's, people feel almost cheered up and inspired. They feel like, 'If Hayley hasn't killed herself, why should I?'
I'd rather not have a moment when I'm known for my looks; being funny and interesting lasts longer.
I get paid to make out with the hunks!
I work out every day. It's part of my life. That's one of the benefits of having kids in school full-time.
I feel like my mind is a little quieter when I exercise.
Please get on an airplane or a horse, because it's pretty spectacular.
When you have an entire amphitheatre of people laughing that way, it makes you feel so funny and it frees you to go further than you probably would.
I had a picture-perfect childhood.
My parents were like June and Ward Cleaver; there was nothing dysfunctional about them.
I'll quit tanning when the satchel handle grows out of my back.
Having been a cheerleader, I know all too well what these girls give up to join forces and compete.
I'm like any working mom.
When I'm at work, I'm remembering what I forgot to do for the kids, and when I'm with the kids, I'm remembering what I forgot to do at work.
Sleeping is not something I do a lot of.
If I feel any sort of emotional upheaval, I go for a jog and I feel better.
I work out with a trainer, Anna Kaiser, three days a week.
I don't have the best family history heart-wise, so I really try to keep my heart strong.

I treat my cheeks like breasts in a push-up bra. I just reach down in there, lift them up and push them together. And they'll stay put if the jeans are tight enough.Collection: Jeans

I work out every day. It's part of my life. That's one of the benefits of having kids in school full-time. I do it more for my insides than my outside, but the outside gets a nice benefit, too. I feel like my mind is a little quieter when I exercise. And I don't have the best family history heart-wise, so I really try to keep my heart strong.Collection: Wise
Women's clutches are too small. I open my purse, and with some hydraulic force, a tampon shoots 12 feet into the air.Collection: Air
I think I have a disease called spontaneous disclosure. I need to tell everyone my life story instantaneously.Collection: Inspirational
Don't get divorced after your first argument! I have a lot of friends that have one fight and that's it, they get divorced. I go, 'Wait a minute! Oh my gosh, you guys! Calm down! You'll forget in three days what you were fighting about. I promise. So just let it marinate a little bit-that's my best love advice.Collection: Best Love

I'm not militant about anything. If there's cheesecake in the house, I'll have some. If I'm in the mood for something, I'll have it. I don't obsess about anything. I could have three or four "cheat days" in a week and then not have dessert for another three months.Collection: House
I read that book How to Hug a Porcupine [by Julie Ross] - it's my parenting bible. They say you have to trust your children and give them freedom. I say, OK, but this is New York City!Collection: New York
