I chose a career in obstetrics and gynecology because there's something about honoring women, honoring the birth process. We all come from women, and there's something extraordinary about the mothers who raised us.

Dying is easy, it's living that scares me to death.

To be labeled as a strong woman when you feel vulnerable is a strange place to be, because then you're, like, "Oh, I have to be strong now. But I don't feel strong. I feel alienated. I feel isolated. I feel that things are very surreal, and they're not authentic, and this is all just very overwhelming."

Everything is illusory. You cannot label something and feel that that is the beginning, middle, and end of it.

There's good stuff and bad stuff, but you continue on. I'm not prescriptive - I cannot tell anyone else what to do with their lives, and I'm a deeply flawed individual - but this is it. We're all just living it and... bless us all.

I'm not a saint. I'm not an angel. I'm a human being.

There must be an angel, Playing with my heart. And when I think that I'm alone, It seems there's more of us at home...
