Emily Procter

It's so nice after 10 years as a blond actress in Hollywood to have people let you do smart things. ”

I started crying the other day just thinking that the baby is going to leave me soon! You have this relationship with this person in your belly and it's really amazing. ”

I am hoping this is my year to have children. I understand that I am possibly more European in my views of marriage. I am not going to say I'm not going to get married, but it's not my priority. ”

I would love to tell you that I don't worry about losing the weight after the baby is born, but I do try to think before I eat. The first cookie? Definitely! But I try to think about if I really want to do the extra sit-ups before I eat the second one. ”

Your child's not looking at you and going, 'Mmm, I love a clavicle. Let me nestle into that.' ”

I'm never going to be a modern gal. I love colonial. I love early American. I love a big rectangular piece of brown furniture on a hardwood floor. ”

It's really fun at night, because I can see the baby kicking. I can feel the knee or the foot. The baby is starting to get heavy, and it's a really incredible feeling. I'm so grateful I get to experience this. ”

I never wear pants in my life. I never thought I'd say this, but I miss wearing pants. For the first time in my life, I miss my pants. ”

It's a reality that in this business there's an expectation of being thin. But having a baby is a reality too, and it's more important for me to make milk than to fit into those tiny pants. So that's just going to have to wait. ”

I felt like the news business was a little rough for me and a little sleazy. So I glided right over into acting. ”
