I'm a human rights person. I don't think people should be unfair to men or women.

The records of adopted children are sealed in California. That seal is considered inviolable... The judge ruled that, because I was famous, he didn't have the same rights as other kids.

There was nothing you couldn't do if you wanted it bad enough, and were willing to work hard enough to get it.

I write about the things that happen to us all. The things that are tough, the things that matter, from a loved one fighting an illness, to losing a job, being betrayed by somebody you trust, all parts of the human condition. No one is exempt from those things.

Not everyone is meant to stay forever.

To be able to touch lives, and touch a life that you don't even know, is an extraordinary thing.

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?
