My Drive Is Something That I Don't

I Remember When I Started Acting And Didn't Get A Part And Was Really Jealous Of The Girl Who Got It. My Mom Would Say To Me, "if You Don't Get A Part, That Means It's Not Your Part. It's Just Not Yours. You Will Have Your Parts." It Really Recalibrated Me At A Very Young Age To Where I Could Be Driven Because I Was Trying To Achieve Things For Myself, And That Had Nothing To Do With What Anybody Else Was Doing.

It's Really Hard To Find Things That Are Worth Leaving Them For. [balancing Work And Motherhood Is] Really Hard. One Night In Nashville, My Son Was Screaming With A Terrible Stomachache. I Was Like, 'i Have To Get Out Of Here!' But We Had To Finish. My Friend Jenno, A Mother Of Three Who Was Producing, Was Great, Reminding Me That Nine Times Out Of 10, They Just Have Gas.

I've Learned So Much From Being A Mom About The Kind Of Person I Want To Be, The Kind Of Woman I Want To Be. Motherhood Has Taught Me Mindfulness. If You Just Parent On Instinct, You'll Screw Your Kid Up For Life. You Have To Be So Mindful.

I Was A Fool. I Had No Idea What I Was Getting Myself Into. But I Have To Say, It's Been Incredibly Rewarding And I Learn So Much Every Day.

Invest In What's Real. Clean As You Go. Drink While You Cook. Make It Fun. It Doesn't Have To Be Complicated. It Will Be What It Will Be.
