I wish I had been a better mother and a more compassionate and understanding wife in both of my marriages.

I used to think that divorce meant failure, but now I see it more as a step along the path of self-realization and growth.

I sleep with my gun on my bedside table. I live alone; it is my protection and makes me feel safer.

One hopes, of course, that a relationship grows and becomes a deep and wonderful marriage and friendship that lasts forever. But that's not always the case.

I don’t worry about gaining weight. I’m fortunate in that I’ve never had to worry about that. Some people eat when they are stressed. I don’t eat enough.

I don't mind being single. In fact, I like it.

Young people don't really study the facts; they watch the skewed MSNBC and get a primarily liberal education.
