I have become that mother I used to dread.

I'm not one of those people who thinks they simply deserve success. I have the drive to work.

But now I have a child, and it's the best thing in the world.

Going through that traumatic time of being heartbroken and then being pregnant turned my whole life upside down and inside out and just knocked the wind out of me. But I got so much out of that.

I'm raising a child, and it's public. The media creates these dramas, and that's not what's happening in my life.

If you go from a structure where you have the support and that partner and that construction of a family and that's broken apart, I think that's probably a lot harder than always being a single mom and having the father being a support in another area.

There's nothing like a good pair of heels.
