It's important that I make a difference in some way. It's not necessarily how I make a difference, but I want to make sure that I do.

I kind of had my life planned out for me. I'd be married at some point, have, you know, 1.5 children, and be a principal possibly one day. But I think that that was kind of my problem. I allowed myself to plan out my life and didn't let provident direction guide my life.

I'm religious. I think this is something God had planned for me.

I cannot raise a child to lie or to hide things. I wasn't raised that way, and I'm not going to raise a child to do that.

You know, I think I'm a stronger person for realizing that you can't make everybody love you.

In my ideal world, no child would suffer. Charitable instincts would prevail. There would be global acceptance of all different types of people.

No matter what the situation you're in, if you're raised in a loving environment, that's the most important thing.
