Ayelet Waldman The capacity for extravagant emotion that my husband finds so attractive in me can be exhausting, especially to a child. My moods are mercurial, and this can be terrifying.

Amber Stevens To be honest, I don’t love the getting-ready-for-red-carpet thing. I like when it’s done, the final product, but the actual doing of all that is not my favorite ’cause I’m kind of impatient, and I don’t like to be doted on. I’m a very independent, ‘I’ll do it myself’ sort of personality. – Amber Stevens
