Lisa Edelstein Quotes

Being a mother is the most fun job I've ever had.

Raising children is an enormously important part of life. I think one of the most important, or the most important, period.

I've always wanted to have kids. I do think I would be a great mom.

I like kids but I also like the option to close the door. Becoming a parent is a whole other life, and it doesn't stop.

I'd always imagined that one day I would be a father, but mostly it was off my radar. I admired friends who had somehow figured out how to cross that threshold.

Raising five boys is a handful, trust me.

The biggest challenge is the chaos of parenthood, which has honestly been such a welcome challenge - bring it on, I say!

The thing I want more than anything else? I want to have children. I used to feel for every child I had, I would adopt another.

Parenting is not for everybody. It changes your life. Especially when they're little.

I may adopt. I love children and I do feel the need to take the legacy forward. I am open to it, but emotionally you have to be ready for it. Raising a child is really a huge responsibility. And I should have that time and emotional energy to give to child. How and when is a decision my mother and I will take a few years from now.

I can't imagine my life without my kids. Raising them has been the greatest joy in my life.

I like being a mother.

I just love motherhood.

I would love to be a dad. For the longest time, I've wanted kids, but you have to have the right setup, right?

I've always loved kids, but to have your own little munchkins is unlike anything else. It's the greatest form of love; it's challenging and scary, but so rewarding and exciting.

I loved raising my kids. I loved the process, the dirt of it, the tears of it, the frustration of it, Christmas, Easter, birthdays, growth charts, pediatrician appointments. I loved all of it.

Raising a daughter is hard work. There's no other way to describe it for me.

I do want to have kids. Every time I see a little kid, I get excited, and I want to spend time with them.

I'm not cut out to lug babies around!

I happen to find motherhood a very natural state, but I know a lot of other people don't.

Parenthood remains the greatest single preserve of the amateur.
