“I love to roll out of bed and throw something on. I had this roommate ...” — Kim Raver Quote

I love to roll out of bed and throw something on. I had this roommate in college who would get up almost 2 hours before class to do hair and makeup. That's not for me.

When I started 'Third Watch,' I knew I was going to be with the firefighters and lifting, so I was doing yoga, running, and swimming - all at the same time. I didn't have a kid then. Now I don't have time for that. I want to spend time with my son and my husband, so it's mainly just yoga now.

For a quick, healthy meal that's also fun for kids, I serve fish tacos: soft tortillas, lettuce, tomatoes, black beans and brown rice.

I think what's so interesting for me is the different roles that I play. I love doing the research, and I love - I feel fortunate in the sense that I get to explore many different worlds, of things that I may not really get to learn a lot about.

I don't get time to read often - the last hour before bed is somehow always spent clearing up the day's mess instead.

I honestly think I'm the kind of person that is driven by fear of failure rather than striving for success. I tend to go to bed scared and wake up terrified.

To carry care to bed is to sleep with a pack on your back.

I come from a family where some nights you don't know where food's going to come from. There's nights where you're going to have go to bed hungry.

One of my favourite things in life is an early night between freshly washed sheets. There's a ritual. It involves relaxing spray and lavender drops, bed socks, a silk eye mask and soothing music. My phone is out of the room. My mind is on sheep.
