My daughter, unfortunately, is ill, because drug addiction is an illness. She's been fighting it for years.

I never imagined my life would be the way that it has been for the past 30 years. I have had the best experiences a person can have-and the worst as well.

I have three wonderful children. My husband is an absolutely wonderful, perfect husband and a father, most of all.

My children are the most important thing in my life.

I've seen firsthand the terrible consequences of drug abuse. My heart is with all who suffer from addiction and the terrible consequences for their families.

My childhood, I would say, was a bit sad.

My philosophy in life... is to prove myself to myself and not to others. I tried to teach my children that, that I have to respect myself, to prove to myself that I can do the best I can.
