I know not every mom is a secret KGB spy, but every mom has this whole other life. Every dad and every person has this whole other life.

Sometimes it's the smallest decisions that can change your life forever.

I want to be able to raise my kid. I was totally being a martyr about it at first, thinking I could totally do it on my own, which I did for a while. I've hired a babysitter before, but as for a full-time caregiver... for a control freak like me, it ain't gonna happen!

I stayed really physical during my pregnancy. I stuck to my normal pre-pregnancy workout, minus the stomach exercises and twisting. I really felt it helped my whole well-being.

Acting happened to me. If I had pursued it, I think it would have been like someone going to a bar, desperately looking for love and not finding anyone.

I am positive I was not a neglected child. I remember reading 'The Jungle Book' and 'The Sleeping Beauty.'

I was a huge fan of 'Arrested Development,' and there's just something it tickles in me and it's bright and it's hilarious.

I like getting to be in the adult world a little bit and then getting to be in the mom world and cook dinners. And, for me, that balance is what makes it nice.

I don't have time for any special skin routines. Many a night I go to bed with the gloppy mascara and all.

When I was on the 'Mickey Mouse Club,' there was Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake and Ryan Gosling and Christine Aguilera. But they were 12 and I was 17, so there was a bit of an age difference.

I'm not okay when I have to be around everyone all the time.

I am literally the worst person at keeping secrets. I'd be the worst spy of all time.
