I think if you talk to anybody who would like to have had children... I mean, you look at families all the time and you see there is something there that you don't have.

There are certain realities we must speak of with our children that were not present when I was a child.

I think that when you have kids, it's all about them.

In 2014, having children is complicated and daunting and fraught - as much as it's always been, but now we're talking about it. And the more we talk about it, the more of us will realize that we're not going through it alone. Far from it.

You know, as an only child, you're kind of in a bubble, and there are all sorts of things about my childhood that I still can't really place.

It's very important to be in your child's life and know what's going on and be there with them.

When you have kids, you start thinking about their future and you forget about yours.

I abhor 'baby talk.' I speak to kids like I would any other person, and they seem to respond to it.
