"The truth is, I like my body more when it's thinner. I have a range of jeans, and I'm happier in the smaller ones. But I don't have the same drive to get into those jeans. I'm not going to change my day to get there, whereas I used to."
Quote by -Brooke Shields
"I think once you have children, you just don't have the same kind of freedom to pick up and go. But then, I sort of think, how often did I really do it? How spontaneous was I really? Part of what I think I miss is this fantasy of my wild days, but they never existed!"
Quote by -Brooke Shields
"Love can produce the children, but it has nothing to do with the raising of the children. I grew up thinking, 'Oh, that's it. All I have to do is fall in love.' You may think love will change everything, but it really is different with children. Children don't necessarily bring you together; they challenge you."
Quote by -Brooke Shields
"My husband perpetually makes fun of me about my creams and my jars and potions and lotions, but its simpler than anyone makes it: clean, tone, keep yourself moisturized. The rest is internal: Protect yourself from the sun and drink water."
Quote by -Brooke Shields
"I love getting baths and going to the Korean spas and getting pummeled and scrubbed, and its so hot in the sauna you can't even stand it. I have to do things in a pretty extreme way to calm down. So a Swedish massage is not going to do it! I need to know that they're in there with their thumbs and moving stuff around."
Quote by -Brooke Shields
"I always feel like the odd mom out, because trust me when I tell you I'm on my girls. And every time I am, I know from the outside it looks like I'm an overbearing, controlling parent. But I don't think we have any responsibility to anybody else but our kids and ourselves."
Quote by -Brooke Shields
"I'm so adamant that being a really good parent does not mean you have to be there 24/7. I find that I'm never not thinking about where they are, but instead of it stressing me out, it comforts me to know that I'm completely aware of their schedule, and they're with someone I trust."
Quote by -Brooke Shields
"I would have thought that I would have become one of those parents - just because it's my nature to be such a perfectionist - that anything falling short, I would have seen as a failure. But something has happened to me over the past few years - it's not Zen, believe me, I'm not at all Zen - but I'm so appreciative of even the chaos."
Quote by -Brooke Shields
"I went to an ordinary school in New York City with no other actors. I learned to compartmentalise different parts of my life. I was one person at home and then another person at work and for that reason my career didn't challenge my family life."
Quote by -Brooke Shields
"I'm a hands-on mum and I'm lucky to be able to be that. I can remember the things my mum used to do with me and that time together is so important."
Quote by -Brooke Shields
"I suffered from post-natal depression after Rowan was born. I had a healthy, beautiful baby girl and I couldn't look at her. I couldn't hold her, smile at her. All I wanted was to disappear and die."
Quote by -Brooke Shields
"My mother totally protected me as a model. She took me on every look-see, she was there on the set if I wanted her to be."
Quote by -Brooke Shields
"Louis Malle was the best filmmaker I've ever worked with. He was such an artist. He was dealing with the theme of innocence and experience."
Quote by -Brooke Shields
"I have always liked lionesses. Female lions have always seemed like the best. They were really strong and took care of their babies and are beautiful."
Quote by -Brooke Shields
"From the time I could speak, I knew I wanted to have children. It was just an innate desire."
Quote by -Brooke Shields
"I don't like to leave my children for long periods of time. It's made me more picky about roles that are close, especially on television."
Quote by -Brooke Shields
"I was such a nerd, a complete geek, but then I was lucky enough to have a fancy career, where I can be like 'See, I'm not a nerd. Look, I'm in 'Vogue.'"
Quote by -Brooke Shields
"I was the first child at four at a modeling agency, so I had an advantage."
Quote by -Brooke Shields
"What Tupperware has stood for all these years is the independence of women, allowing women to work from home, earn a living - and that what this Boys & Girls Clubs of America program, the SMART Girls program, is about."

Quote by -Brooke Shields
"I always sold other peoples' fashions, so I wore jeans and t-shirts, and I put on what they needed to sell, and I'd sell it. So as far a nurturing my own style, it took me quite a long time to do it."
Quote by -Brooke Shields
"I've never found therapy to be a sign of weakness; I've found the opposite to be true. The willingness to have a mirror held up to you definitely requires strength."
Quote by -Brooke Shields
"I've never been naturally fashion conscious. I'm the kind of person who sees a whole outfit in a magazine, runs out and buys it but looks like a clown."
Quote by -Brooke Shields
"Eight shows a week is daunting, and it can be terrifying. But it just instills such a sense of confidence and growth."
Quote by -Brooke Shields
"I hope this will help new moms not feel alone or desperate, and that there is no shame in their feelings. PPD is out of their control, but the treatment and healing process is not."
Quote by -Brooke Shields
"I'm just starting to realize the type of work that I want to do. Not everyone can fit into the sitcom world because it's so fast-paced, but it feels comfortable to me."
Quote by -Brooke Shields
"My father's death, my move, and my frightening and difficult delivery created a tremendous amount of stress, pain, and sadness for me. I was practically devastated beyond recovery."
Quote by -Brooke Shields
"The most rewarding thing is being on Broadway. I went into Cabaret as a replacement and was really challenged beyond anything I could have imagined."
Quote by -Brooke Shields
"The thing I'm the most proud of in my personal life is that my daughter actually thinks that I'm fabulous."
Quote by -Brooke Shields
"I was always with a single mom, and we never had schedules or anything. We were just Bohemian, us against the world, which was kind of great, but it certainly didn't breed security. I've gotten hyper-sensitive to schedules and bath time and eating at the dinner table. We don't just 'Bohemian' go out at nine o'clock and go get Chinese food."
Quote by -Brooke Shields
"I look back at myself, this innocent person, and I think, 'Gosh, she's okay.' I handled a lot, and I'm still here."
Quote by -Brooke Shields
"The older I get, the younger I feel. Growing up, I was always the kid, but I spoke like an adult and was in adult roles. I didn't feel like a kid. The older I get, I actually feel younger! Which is good. I always thought when you get older, you'll want to slow down, but I want to do even more."
Quote by -Brooke Shields
"We live in New York. To be able to have a steady job and take your kids to school, and be around and work hard, is the perfect life."
Quote by -Brooke Shields
"The difficulty of IVF or of any fertility issues is the hope and the shattered hope, the dream that it might happen this time and then it doesn't happen."
