Artists raise their kids differently. We communicate to the point where we probably annoy our children. We have art around the house, we have books, we go to plays, we talk. Our focus is art and painting and dress-up and singing. It's what we love. So I think you can see how artists in some way raise other artists.

It's the greatest thing that ever happened in my life, my son.

I think if you've never been pregnant, you can over play pregnant and you can do a lot of different things with pregnant.

If you have problems, it's something to apologize for, to be embarrassed about, not to revel in. It's the perfectionist in me...That's why people call me the "bossy little thing"-I'm the bossiest person around.

If you don't get out of the box you've been raised in, you won't understand how much bigger the world is.

I cry secretly. I don't really cry in front of anybody. I hate crying. I feel like it's not accomplishing anything. But when I lost my mother, I cried, and I cried big.

I can tell my children that they don't need to fear they will lose me to breast cancer.
