When I got pregnant, I had to concentrate on being pregnant for a whole nine months, even though I knew it was ruining my career at the time.

I really thought when I was pregnant with my first that it wouldn't affect my work at all; it would just be a baby that grows up on set. And I was absolutely wrong. For women, the high point of their career and needing to have babies just don't really go together.

Most women get pregnant and even though it's a challenge physically and uncomfortable, they generally wanted to be pregnant.

I want to have children, but my friends scare me. One of my friends told me she was in labor for 36 hours. I don't even want to do anything that feels good for 36 hours.

It's incredibly stressful when the person you love is having a child.

I did a lot of work with myself over the course of being pregnant and the first few months of being pregnant. It's nice, the pace of being pregnant; it gives you a long time to not just germinate a baby but germinate the mother that you're gonna be.

Once we decided not to get pregnant, I snapped back into work mode, and now I have just been really enjoying my career.

I don't know why some people have children at all if they know that they can only take a few weeks off work.

Infertility is this huge emotional roller coaster. If you want in your heart more than anything to have a baby, it's the hardest thing you will ever go through physically, emotionally, and financially.

I think I became more productive through not having children. I never really had the desire to have them. My husband didn't want them either, so it worked out well.
