On Wanting Kids
"I've never in my life said I didn't want to have children. I did and I do and I will! The women that inspire me are the ones who have careers and children; why would I want to limit myself? I've always wanted to have children, and I would never give up that experience for a career. I want to have it all." (Vanity Fair)

On the Pressure to Have Kids
"I think people maybe want me to have a kid now...If it happens, it happens. I'm calm and peaceful with whatever the plan is. It's not something where I'm going, 'I gotta have a kid!' The one time I do say, 'Yes! I'm pregnant!' they'll be like, 'Pfft. Right.'" (GQ)

On Ups and Downs in Marriage
"What's fantastic about marriage is getting through those ebbs and flows with the same person, and looking across the room and saying, 'I'm still here. And I still love you.' You have marriages within marriages within marriages...That's what I want in marriage." (Vanity Fair)
On the Perfect Relationship
"It's a growing, literally living thing. There's going to be growing pains, there's going to be awkward moments—your lanky phase, your pimpled phase. I think that's the beauty of a relationship." (GQ)
