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.

I miss the noise in New York: the sound of taxis and that constant buzz the city has.

I'm not sure anyone - and I could be wrong in this - grows up thinking, I want to be a single mom.

When you're suddenly pregnant and no one is standing by your side, even if you're in your 30s, it's a hard conversation. I'm a traditional girl, and I believe in marriage, and I just always thought that's the way I'd be doing this.

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

My son has two loving parents and an extended family, whether it's cousins or stepmothers or boyfriends. My son is surrounded by love.

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