On raising 19-month-old identical twins Cy and Bowie: "A blowout? I can't do it — I end up with sh*t everywhere! There is sh*t on the boy; there is sh*t on me; there is sh*t in my hair. And I'm like, How did this happen?"
On having an emergency delivery: "The boys came at 32 weeks. They found protein in my urine; my platelets crashed. I didn't qualify for an epidural, so I delivered under general anesthetic. I didn't even meet them until a day later."
On growing up with three sisters: "I come from a family of women. Of tough women. Not in a bad way, just resilient, and strong, and determined, and super-opinionated."
On her mom, who worked two jobs to raise her daughters after their father's death: "She's the goddess of 'I could give two sh*ts about what you have to say about me; I do it all my way.'"
On other celebrities lending support after she became a mother: "We were all reaching out to each other. I got an email from Jessica Alba — who I only know from conversations in the bathroom at events — saying, 'Hey, congratulations. This is my to-do list of how I did things. Maybe there will be something you can use.'"
