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

You know, there's a tremendous amount of genetic propensity not necessarily for what TV shows you like but for literally how you view the world, how you react to things, how things touch you and how things move you.

I'm a pretty quiet person.

Drama is what I did before 'Blossom.'

I think neuroscience is obviously very esoteric, but I think there are aspects of it that can absolutely be brought down to the level of an interested 11-, 12-, 13-year-old easily.

Relationships are complicated no matter what style of parenting you choose.

I've never had a sinus infection or been on antibiotics since cutting out dairy.

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.

The level of communication you can achieve with an infant is really profound.

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

Breast-feeding is the natural, optimal way to feed a child.

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.

I get maybe four hours of sleep a night. I'm a little bit crazy.

There's a tremendous amount to be gained from being a performer, and being an artist, and being an actor.

I came to parenting the way most of us do - knowing nothing and trying to learn everything.

I'm generally intimidated by adults.

Even as a child, I felt very guilty about eating animals and never knew that there was something to do about it. And as I got older, it became clearer that there are things that I can do and choices I can make.

You don't have to be an at-home parent to be an attachment parent.

To be honest, it's considered very late to start acting at 11 and a half, for the industry. Most kids are doing it from toddlerhood on.

I basically look like a lot of modern Orthodox people you know, but I work on a TV show where I sometimes have to kiss Jim Parsons. That's why I don't take on the title of modern Orthodox, but in terms of ideology and theology I pretty much sound like a liberal modern Orthodox person.
