The actress opens up about her family and past relationships in the accompanying interview, getting candid about her role as a partner and a mother.
For one thing, she doesn’t like to get into the nitty gritty of her relationships because of her kids. She explains:
“The reason I don’t talk about anything like that is because I have kids. People ask that question as if, ‘Oh yeah, it’s really healthy to publicly talk about who I am or am not dating when I’ve got a tween.’ [Ryder] can read, and he can hear. I’m not going to indulge in that kind of thing until there’s someone in my life who I am introducing to my kids.”
But when it comes to staying friendly with exes, she’s figured out the secret:
“I think forgiveness is the biggest part of it├óΓé¼┬ªI think everybody wants to point fingers. If you are a person who takes responsibility for yourself and your part in it, you have a much better chance of maintaining a nice relationship. It also means that you grow up. A lot of people don’t want to grow up because it sucks.”
She’s also not straining to be supermom:
“I don’t try to sugarcoat things. I’ll say, ‘I’m doing the best I can.’ I like cooking, I like presenting. I like it to be an experience and [my kids] help me with it, but if they want something after that, I’ll be like, ‘Look, I’m placing a meal out for you like a king. I can’t do everything. I’m going to have to be the OK mom.'”
Sounds like a healthy way to look at things to us!

On Hillary Clinton: “There’s so much focus on her likability. I want to elect a president to get the job done. When she took the stage, I got incredibly emotional. As a woman, and as a working mom trying to get things done, you find yourself meeting adversity a lot, but you never talk about it because you don’t want to bring attention to it. You don’t want to go there.”
On advocating a healthy lifestyle: “It was always part of our life. My mom’s [Goldie Hawn] passion is about finding joy. Even in difficult moments, she has this joy of life. And I feel the same way.”
On receiving hate for being a lifestyle guru: “If you don’t want to get criticized, do nothing. I would love to be able to pass on to the next generation the need to stop judging everybody so much. You don’t have to like it. You don’t have to buy it.”
