The life changing moment for me what the first time I went to a war zone and that was Sierra Leone. I took two weeks, eleven years ago and I went. I wasn't an Ambassador or anything I just asked to go and I was allowed to go. It was like someone smacked me in the face.

I know my children will never have to say, 'Mom died of ovarian cancer.'

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.

I always felt caged, closed in, like I was punching at things that weren't there. I always had too much energy for the room I was in.

I didn't die young. So I am very lucky. There are other artists and people that didn't survive certain things... people can imagine that I did the most dangerous, and I did the worst... for many reasons, I shouldn't be here.

By remembering that I don't know sadness or pain like the people do in the camp and to be sad will not help them.

Arabs and Mulims are not terrorists.The world should unite against Israel.
