Kristen Bell [1] has proven time and time again that she may be one of the most down-to-earth people in Hollywood. She has opened up about her struggle with depression [2], gotten candid about her relationship with husband Dax Shepard [3], and publicly talked about her sex life [4]. In short, she's our hero. A few months ago, we (and a small group of reporters) got the chance to chat with Kristen on the set of her new comedy, Bad Moms [5], and like her costar Mila Kunis [6], she spoke about motherhood from the heart. Here are her sweetest (and realest) quotes about juggling her two kids, Lincoln and Delta.

• The lonely side of motherhood is very real: "Being a mom can be so isolating, and hanging out with other moms is very, very healthy."
• How she and Dax keep from going insane: "My husband and I tap out and take mini meditative breaks because we have two toddlers — they're so f*cking loud — and we keep an eye on each other. We'll go 'Oh, okay you can take a break; I'll take over.' When you're in the ring, you gotta tap out with your partner. That's how we do it."
• She's not so quick to judge judgy moms: "I find that the vast majority of people who are judging are just fearful or insecure."
• Why sticking together is vital: "I think when there's so much information to be eaten up, and so many different ways to do it, people cling to groups. I think that we, as monkeys, want to live in smaller groups. It's very scary when we're all — as wonderful as it is — connected. So you're struggling for your own identity because you need that, but I think that's the great thing about this movie: it's a reminder that we're all on the same team. We're all on the same team, guys — as women, as moms, as friends, as parkas." (Editor's note: All three actresses had just done a scene in which they poured groceries all over themselves and were wearing parkas.)
