Who doesn't need hope in their lives: hope that something can change, that someone cares, that not only bad things happen unexpectedly but good things can happen to us too?

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

It's hard being visible, so I've made myself invisible.

You can’t move ahead until you bury the past.

I think people face that in any artistic field, this idea of: oh, I could do that, if I had the time.

For the moment, my life is a little schizophrenic.

So often people tell me: you got me through this, you've really helped me. And I never realized that part of what I do is that I give people hope.
