“We've become such a multitasking society that just paying attention to the road …” — Andie MacDowell

As a single mother of four, my mother taught me that you always want to show up strong for the moments that really matter with family, friends, and community. I now recognize how her strength helped shape the person I am today and the mother that I have become.

I'm not a huge TV person. I don't like having the noise when I'm doing other things unless I'm really lonely, and then I turn the TV on. But I do like to sit down and watch TV in the evenings.

I remember when Meryl Streep did an ad for American Express, the press harassed her.

I'm always reading several books at the same time, depending on how deeply engrossed in it I am, if it's fiction and if it captures me.
