Mayim Bialik

I'm big on my kids being conventionally polite, and it works really well for them.

I don't care much about conforming.

One of the best things my mother passed on to me was being an efficient multitasker.

I'm one of those people that thinks the Internet is amazing, and I can't believe it exists.

I'm one of those people that makes a better adult than I did a kid.

As a kid, I felt really weird.

It used to be that if you were on a sitcom you couldn't get work in film because it was so different. Now it's almost like you have to be on TV to do other film work.

Publicly I'm a very modest dresser, by Hollywood's standards.

I started acting because I enjoyed school plays.

I'm definitely on the spectrum of socially awkward.

I was raised on the purest comedy there is: 'I Love Lucy.' I was raised watching 'Three's Company' and sitcoms of the '70s and '80s.

I'm generally intimidated by adults.

I don't wear pants, or like them; I'm a Jewish woman who's made the decision to wear skirts, so I wear mostly skirts past the knee.

Auditions are hard. You should see what most of the women look like when I audition for things - they look like they should be on the catwalk.

A lot of stuff I wear I've had since high school.

I'm technically a vegan, but I do eat egg if it's in things.

I do believe babies are born potty-trained. They're born knowing and are able to give subtle signals that become very prominent if you reinforce them.

My first son didn't really take a bottle, and I didn't like giving bottles.

Sleeping with your child, wearing your child in a sling as opposed to pushing them around in expensive strollers, those are things that matter biologically and sociologically for the structure of a family.

I was always kind of a school person - my parents were teachers, and my grandparents were immigrants, so their big thing was, 'Go to college, go to college, go to college.'
