You don’t know how lucky you are, my dear. Don’t waste it with regrets of the places and people you have lost. You have a lifetime to fill, so many good times and good years and great people ahead of you. You must rush to meet it.

I'm surprisingly practical in much of my life, but not when it comes to my shoes.

Motherhood is not for the faint-hearted. Frogs, skinned knees, and the insults of teenage girls are not meant for the wimpy.

Somebody once said to me that photography and writing don't get respect because people think that they can do it, too.

My kids are more precious to me than anything. I'm with them all day, and I write all night.

I'm one of them. The weirdos and the freaks. My point was that it's ok to be different, and from now on we'd better be, if we're going to make something of ourselves. It's the one thing I learned in school. Different is ok. -Victoria

I've rarely met a shoe I didn't like.
