I love great journalism. I appreciate it. I love good news stories. I love great books. I love great articles. I appreciate them so much, and they've been part of my education as a woman.

I do not feel any less of a woman. I feel empowered that I made a strong choice that in no way diminishes my femininity.

I like someone who is a little crazy but coming from a good place. I think scars are sexy because it means you made a mistake that led to a mess.

Becoming a parent has just completely changed me, and made life so beautiful and given me such a center and a focus and such joy.

I was the punk outsider who nobody messed with. I was fearless. At 16, I graduated and moved out.

~Sometimes, when I want to take on the world, I try to remember that it's just as important to sit down and ask my son how he's feeling or talk to him about life.~

Apart from my children, spending time with refugees was the greatest gift... the greatest life lesson I could ever receive.
