Emily Procter

“I've found that I've settled into myself a little bit more in last year and started wearing things that I feel comfortable with and my own style and... I decided to just embrace the person that I am and the look I like, and what I think is pretty.”

“Your child's not looking at you and going, 'Mmm, I love a clavicle. Let me nestle into that.'”

“When I was 8, my favorite toy was a stapler. My brother was afraid of me.”

“Getting pregnant wasn't easy, and I found that devastating. I really beat myself up for waiting so long when I'd always wanted children and family had been the basis of my happiness my whole life.”

“I decided about a year ago, and I just feel like I want to see more personal style in people, and I feel like if I'm going to be out there in the public eye, they should see who I am and how I dress, and I feel like it, also.”

“It's a reality that in this business there's an expectation of being thin. But having a baby is a reality too, and it's more important for me to make milk than to fit into those tiny pants. So that's just going to have to wait.”

“It's really fun at night, because I can see the baby kicking. I can feel the knee or the foot. The baby is starting to get heavy, and it's a really incredible feeling. I'm so grateful I get to experience this.”

“It's a very weird thing. When you see your house naked, you feel very protective of it and of the people who lived here before.”

“180 episodes of 'CSI: Miami' and never the same lipstick twice!”

“I always wear high heels.”

“Before you're a mom you don't know what gear is going to be relevant.”

“To say that I am organized is an understatement, but my car tells a different story.”

“I'm never going to be a modern gal. I love colonial. I love early American. I love a big rectangular piece of brown furniture on a hardwood floor.”

“Having a crying baby is inspiration to get the job done quickly.”

“My house is very serious. It's a lot of antiques, and the way I decided to liven it up is, I paired it very vibrant colors and - bugs... I think that they're pretty. And I think that they're fascinating and they're natural.”

“In college, I was a weather anchor for the local news. I would 'borrow' my forecast from The Weather Channel.”

“It's not a bad idea to be single, so I can concentrate on my job.”

“I felt like the news business was a little rough for me and a little sleazy. So I glided right over into acting.”

“I don't email.”

“I think that we could be more careful about what we're saying to young women in terms of their expectations. It's unrealistic to expect people to always be in designer clothes. Girls growing up deserve more freedom in how they look and how they feel about how they look.”
