  • On the twins' first words: "We've had some 'Mamas' and 'Dadas.' George was very careful to ensure that 'Mama' was the first word."
  • On balancing motherhood with work: "Between six and eight in the morning we get to have them in our bed — I don't schedule any calls before eight. When I was nursing, it was much more complicated, because there are two. I had all manner of weird cushions and pillows and machines."
  • On how she knew George was the one: "It felt like the most natural thing in the world. Before that experience, I always hoped there could be love that was overwhelming and didn't require any weighing or decision-making . . . It's the one thing in life that I think is the biggest determinant of happiness, and it's the thing you have the least control over. Are you going to meet this person? I was 35 when I met him. It wasn't obvious that it was going to happen for me. And I wasn't willing or excited about the idea of getting married or having a family in the absence of that."
