“It wasn't so long ago that I was a working mom myself. And I know that...” — Michelle Obama Quote

It wasn't so long ago that I was a working mom myself. And I know that sometimes, much as we all hate to admit it, it's just easier to park the kids in front of the TV for a few hours, so we can pay the bills or do the laundry or just have some peace and quiet for a change.

I want kids to know: Don't wait for somebody to come along and tell you you're special. Because that may never happen.

I think I'm pretty smart. I think I'm pretty clever. But there's a lot that you hone in on when you finish your education.

I say this everywhere I go: I admire and respect Hillary. She has been a lawyer, a law professor, First Lady of Arkansas, First Lady of the United States, a U.S. Senator, Secretary of State.

Although it's depressing to admit this, more than a handful of post-'Donnie Brasco' Al Pacino roles would have been better served by Steve Buscemi.

I must admit that I am not generous with weak people. It's not in my nature or in my personality. My parents were not generous with weak people, see?

I've got to admit when I did my first ever Match Of The Day, I didn't realise how nervous I'd be. There's a real adrenaline rush as you know you're being watched by around eight million people who'll take the mick out of any mistake you make.

Under pressure, people admit to murder, setting fire to the village church or robbing a bank, but never to being bores.
