These precious illusions in my head did not let me down when I was defenseless, and parting with them is like parting with invisible best friends.

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

Courage and willingness to just go for it, whether it is a conversation or a spontaneous trip or trying new things that are scary - it is a really attractive quality.

I'm quite obsessed with the idea of nailing the girl friendship. It's such an art, so delicate.

The whole celebrity thing is not something I'm overly interested in. I don't pop up at parties. It's just not my thing.

I salute you for your courage, and I applaud your perseverance, and I embrace you for your faith in the face of adversarial forces.

Some of the most beautiful things that have happened to me in my life have been things that I couldn't explain.
