I feel like I'm a stay-at-home mom, which I was for the five years before this. She's absolutely been my focus. That's the choice I made. Desperate Housewives is perfect for me. I get to go back to work and still be able to take my daughter to school and pick her up.

Teri Hatcher

I am blessed to be able to work at a job I love and also give back in the most vital way - to people in need.

Beauty is a combination of qualities. I don't think one can deny that certain people or things feel aesthetically pleasing. But without an equally pleasing being behind that form, there is no beauty there.

Without Wit Tie

When it was availed to me that I had free time, I chose to go to cooking school every day, six hours a day, like a diploma program. I wanted to learn something new.

Teri Hatcher

Time Wanted Want

My parents are really well intended, and I think their way of dealing with things is denial and guilt. Nobody wanted to talk about it. But all I did was blame myself.

Teri Hatcher

Wit Well Way

I think I'm a kind of a person who works hard at whatever I do, literally from being a waitress to being on television. I always try to give 110 percent to whatever it is I'm doing.

Teri Hatcher

Work Works Who

My advice, Be healthy, reach your own goals and don't be afraid to impersonate a SNL star.

Teri Hatcher

Health Your You

Just because 'Planes' is an animated movie doesn't mean I don't take my work seriously. You can always push yourself to be better.

Teri Hatcher

Work Yourself Yours

I have always really liked creating family entertainment, and Disney does that really well.

Teri Hatcher

Men Family Well

I know what it's like to have a young child at the weekend and feel like there is nothing to see in the movie theatre. Family is so important.

Teri Hatcher

Family Young You

I feel like I'm a stay-at-home mom, which I was for the five years before this. She's absolutely been my focus. That's the choice I made. Desperate Housewives is perfect for me. I get to go back to work and still be able to take my daughter to school and pick her up.

I put a limited time on the blues. I say, 'I allowed myself to be blue for four hours, and now I'm going to stop.'

Teri Hatcher

Time Wed Top

I do believe that men can be emasculated by successful women. I don't think I'm emasculating. But I have seen the dynamic with men who either don't make money or make less money. It's just not good for them.

Teri Hatcher

Women Success Money

I think we women need to be kinder to ourselves. That we are just the way we are is enough.

Teri Hatcher

Women Men Way

What's good about talking about being victimized is that it is the beginning of being able to stop it.

Teri Hatcher

Good Victimized Victim

Since my parents both worked, they hired me when I was 11 to make dinner every night. I got a quarter a day. But I was always making things like duck a l'orange and baked Alaska. I was a little bit nutty.

Teri Hatcher

Work Art Worked

I feel like I'm too old to just have sex. I mean, I want to have sex, but with somebody who really loves me.

Teri Hatcher

Love Wit Who

At my lowest I was making nothing, of course.

Teri Hatcher

West Thing Thin

I have said a lot that it's very important to me to make time for my child and make her the priority. I made sacrifices so that I'm around and not traveling for that.

Teri Hatcher

Travel Time Very

I don't want to be alone my whole life. It is much more fun to share what you have than to have it to yourself. And it isn't like I don't have love in my life. I have a lot of friends who love me and who I love.

Teri Hatcher

Love Life Alone

I didn't care at all about losing, but I just didn't want Emerson to feel bad, You know, I didn't win, but Felicity won, and when you come to the set next time, you can give her a big congratulations.

Teri Hatcher

Time Car You

I'd like to change my butt. It hangs a little too long. God forbid what it will look like when I'm older. It will probably be dragging along on the ground behind me.

Teri Hatcher

I'm a firm believer in putting your money where your mouth is.

Teri Hatcher

I'm a woman who carries around all these layers of fear and vulnerability.

Teri Hatcher

In all my career, in my ups and downs, I've never had a beauty campaign. This was meaningful that at almost 41 years old, I could be getting my first beauty campaign. It made me feel really great.

Teri Hatcher

It is truly a privilege to be able to support all women's causes on a global level. It is remarkable that something as simple as television can empower us to create change and awareness in the world.

Teri Hatcher

With this book, I truly hope to reach everyone that I don't bump into on the street and share my story.

Teri Hatcher

I am all about health... and to me, size is not what defines your health.

Teri Hatcher

I'm 40 and I just got my first beauty campaign with Clairol Nice and Easy.

Teri Hatcher

This was meaningful that at almost 41 years old, I could be getting my first beauty campaign.

Teri Hatcher

Let me just say that every cover of every magazine I've done has been airbrushed to death. No woman should walk around thinking that's what they should be. You shouldn't be beating yourself up.

Teri Hatcher

I love clothes that, when you put them on, you feel like you. I don't care whether anyone else likes them.

Teri Hatcher

When you look in the mirror, your 'appearance,' that outer you, is what you see first.

Teri Hatcher

Acceptance is different than apathy. It is important to strive to be your best self, your healthiest, most productive, joyful self. But that is going to be a different answer to everyone.

Teri Hatcher

Changing what you don't like about yourself can be empowering, and that's not a bad thing. Feeling secure enough to own what is weak and missing from either your body, mind or spirit and to commit to action to change it is a good thing.

Teri Hatcher

I'm the breadwinner. I kill the spiders. Actually I don't kill them. I put them in a plastic bag and take them outside. I take out the trash cans. I change the light bulbs. I lug the 50 lbs. suitcases down the stairs.

Teri Hatcher

My daughter has probably gotten some benefit of being inspired by a woman who is willing to take on things. We travel. We travel to exotic places. I'm the first person to jump in the ocean with a whale. Even if I'm scared, I'll do it anyway, because I never wanted her to see fear, especially when she was younger.

Teri Hatcher

I went to a restaurant and sat at the bar and ate by myself. I have my iPad, which is my favorite instrument of all time. I talked to a few people next to me. I'm just trying to be out. It's a little bit scary.

Teri Hatcher

I actually thought 'Desperate Housewives' finished very well. I just think there's still stories to be told. I feel like I get that from fans that they weren't done watching those people's lives.

Teri Hatcher

My father would not pay for me to study anything but engineering or math in college.

Teri Hatcher

Parents do the best they can. But my parents are better grandparents than they were parents.

Teri Hatcher

As a child, I spent a lot of time alone. I used to sit in my closet with one cracker. I'd pretend that I was on the North Pole freezing to death, and I had to somehow survive on this one tiny cracker.

Teri Hatcher

I have been really fortunate to have some great experiences in my life, and I look forward to more, and I would really like to have someone special to share those with.
