- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There's an identity crisis - a lot of us become mothers, and all of a sudden, we're expected to become these selfless people. That's not a really natural process. That, for me, never felt organic.
- Pretend
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There's a repression against mothers where we're expected to be full-time workers and pretend we're not mothers, and then expected to be full-time mothers who pretend we're not working. Simultaneously, within the hours of the week that exist.
- Baby

Are there days where I wish I was just at home with my kids? Yeah, most days. But then I look at our accomplishments, and I feel alive; I feel so proud of myself. So it's a very confusing thing to be a working parent.
- Long
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It took me a long time to blossom. Everyone else understood how to socialize and how to look. I didn't get the memo.

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We've all been in that metaphoric place, having to scream out what you want in the face of your fears.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
To admit that you're shooting for the stars - that you're allowed to do that, that it's not shameful - that to me is very vulnerable.
- Nov 07, 2020
I talk about postpartum depression and all these things I don't hear a lot of women talking about on TV.

- Nov 07, 2020
I don't always look so beautiful.
- Cute
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We only see female protagonists who are likeable, with one cute flaw, such as adorable clumsiness. I'm fed up with it.
- Interesting
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Flaws are really interesting.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There's a different expectation, not just on mothers but on women. We're expected to do it all, to have it all, and look good through the process and have a smile on our face, and that's not always the case.
- More
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Because there is less female storytelling, especially motherhood storytelling, there has been immense pressure on my storytelling to represent more people, and to do so in a sort of unrealistic way.

- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Usually, when people hear my last name, before they really get to know me or work with me, there's probably a lot of preconceived notions that come with that. And I imagine most of them aren't good. Because for every wonderful second generation of a famous person, there's people that aren't that way. More entitled people.

I was lucky enough to be raised not only by a really talented man but a really good father.

- Crisis
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There's an identity crisis that happens when you give birth. I don't care how confident, how secure you are, how much help you have, how many kids you have. For me, it was major.
- Most

- Comedy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Unfortunately, it's the new normal to get divorced - and divorced with children is its own soil rich with land mines. There's a lot of comedy but a lot of heartache, too.
- Great

- Nov 07, 2020
When people stop me to say they love 'Workin' Moms,' it's not just that the show makes them laugh or is a great escape - they tell me my, or another, character's story is their story.
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've embraced comfortable, but still chic, footwear. I don't know who I was wearing heels for - as much as I love the way they make my legs look and the power I feel when I choose to wear them - but I can do a longer and more pressing day if I'm in a shoe I can walk in.
- Men

- Nov 07, 2020
When I first got pregnant, my husband and I were huge consumers of premium cable television, and we were watching all of these shows, and it would either be the B-storyline of a show like 'Homeland,' where she's a working mother, or you have even smaller C-storylines on a show like 'Mad Men.'
- Enough

- Nov 07, 2020
Stay-at-home mothers, working mothers, people are very tough on each other. I don't see that in the world of men. I don't see working men who have children, and those who don't, judging each other. I think there's a different category of expectation.
- Great

- Nov 07, 2020
Whether I was working or not, I am not a good cook or a good seamstress. I love my kids, and I provide for them, but do I think that I'm a great mom? Not by any means, other than that they're full of love. I rely heavily on nannies and my mother and my husband to fill in all over the place where I'm lacking.
- Just

'Workin' Moms,' obviously, is about mothers who also work. But we're also expected to remain graceful when we return to work, and that's just impossible.
