I'm doing it because I choose it. And if it's not working, I can make a change.

All I can promise myself and everyone else is that this record is a snapshot of thisperiod in my life. It will be that by default.

I think it's child abuse to have someone in the public eye too young. Society basically values wealth and fame and power at the cost of well-being. In the case of a child, it's at the cost of someone's natural development. It's already hard enough to develop.

I rejected the God that was portrayed as masculine and judgmental and cruel at times. The concept of us bring not worthy to receive him is something I used to say every Sunday in church, and eventually I just couldn't say it with any conviction.

Trauma happens in relationships, so it can only be healed in relationships. Art can't provide healing. It can be cathartic and therapeutic but a relationship is a three-part journey.

I could get away with not taking care of myself as a bachelorette but as a mom I can't.

In my life, anyway, anytime that I judge something to be rigidly right or wrong, it comes from fear.
