Mayim Bialik Quotes
Auditions are hard. You should see what most of the women look like when I audition for things - they look like they should be on the catwalk.
I get maybe four hours of sleep a night. I'm a little bit crazy.
I'm technically a vegan, but I do eat egg if it's in things.
I've never had a sinus infection or been on antibiotics since cutting out dairy.
My first son didn't really take a bottle, and I didn't like giving bottles.
The most empowering feminist act is for women to be taught about the ways babies bond and then decide what they want to do.
Actors are a lot like professors on dissertation committees - it's a lot of ego, a lot of rallying for position, there is a lot at stake in every single interaction.
I basically look like a lot of modern Orthodox people you know, but I work on a TV show where I sometimes have to kiss Jim Parsons. That's why I don't take on the title of modern Orthodox, but in terms of ideology and theology I pretty much sound like a liberal modern Orthodox person.
I have a neuroscience background - that's what my doctorate is in - and I was trained to study hormones of attachment, so I definitely feel my parenting is informed by that.
I've become sort of an accidental advocate for attachment parenting, which is a style of parenting that... basically, the way mammals parent and the way people have parented for pretty much all of human history except the last 200 years or so.
