I always hated perfect TV moms because I always thought that was unrealistic.

I'm happy with the idea of being a mum first and an actress second - I'm perfectly content for people to think of me as a stay-at-home mum, rather than an actress, if that is their perception.

If I were to work with my mom, I probably would not want her to play my mom. That would get too real.

I feel like I'm meant to be a mom.

I admire my mother for being a single mum. It's ridiculously hard.

TV family sitcoms have always been about fathers who know best and mothers who are so enchanted with everything they do. I wanted to be the first mom to be a mom on TV. I wanted to sent out a message about how us women really feel.

We didn't have a TV in the living room and all my friends thought we were kind of weird. When they'd come over, my mom wanted to talk to them about current events.

A lot of people have told me they have mothers like my mother. I seriously doubt it.
