The beautiful thing about New York is, you have to expose yourself to other people the minute you step outside the door. There is no choice. And I love that.
I'm a bitter-ender. It's potentially my fatal flaw that I do not give up on something. I will not rest. I work and work and work until I can no longer and someone has to remove me from the premises.
My son doesn't know how flawed I am, how flawed we are. He still likes us so much, and that's so incredible to be around.
I tell my friends married life is boring, but that's just a fun thing to say to make single people feel better.
When men attempt bold gestures, generally it's considered romantic. When women do it, it's often considered desperate or psycho.
I still like getting dressed up and having the opportunity to borrow beautiful dresses, but as a mother - and as somebody who's schedule isn't always my own - I don't shop a lot, or think about clothes a lot.
Graham Norton makes me laugh. I love him. I'm not kidding. I watch him on BBC America every week. He's so fast.
It's not like it's hard to be decent and respectful and well-behaved. I do wait in line, and I do take the subway, and I do do my own grocery shopping, and I do take the kids to school.
I do wait in line, and I do take the subway, and I do my own grocery shopping, and I do take the kids to school. But it almost doesn't matter to a certain segment of the populace.
You can't live in New York City and be the most important person in town; you just can't. There are too many other important people here.
If you have a child, you're improvising with rules all day long, and some of them are total lies.
Every once in awhile, a girl has to indulge herself.
My mother was a master juggler. If you ask her, she'll say she was a wreck. There's plenty of screaming that went on in the house, but I think it was necessary just to be heard. There were eight children!
I have a lot of responsibilities outside myself. I have a large family. I want to know I can always be helpful.
I love Matthew Broderick. Call me crazy, but I love him. We can only be in the marriage we are. We're very devoted to our family and our lives. I love our life. I love that he's the father of my children, and it's because of him that there's this whole other world that I love.
People always assume that I'm some sort of party girl, and that's such a misconception because I like staying home.
My job requires me to put on a little dress and run around the streets of New York in heels. But I also had the financial means to hire a yoga teacher to come to my house while my sitter watched the newborn. For 95 percent of the world, that's not realistic.
A squirrel is just a rat with a cuter outfit!
You can't be friends with a squirrel! A squirrel is just a rat with a cuter outfit.
I'm less Pollyanna now. That's probably healthy.
