I think growing up in a big family taught me a lot of problem solving and how to share and compromise, and that's been helpful in my marriage.

Balls are to men what purses are to women.

I don't believe in email. I'm an old-fashioned girl. I prefer calling and hanging up.

My job requires me to put on a little dress and run around the streets of New York in heels. But I also had the financial means to hire a yoga teacher to come to my house while my sitter watched the newborn. For 95 percent of the world, that's not realistic.

I always tell people I think my mom had me when I was 5 feet, 3 inches - I don't remember ever growing.

Growing up, in church we had the homily; at home it's what I call the 'momily' - the inspirational and instructive mom-isms that every family has.

When I'm on that field, I give it everything I have, and when I come off, I'm a mom. As tired and exhausting as it is, it's about coming back, even after double days, and still being able to enjoy the kids.

I've always had influences from all over the place, like Mr. Bungle and Primus. As a band, we try not to focus too much on where it's coming from, because we're always listening to music.
