I feel like I have the fortune of privilege, particularly as it relates to my children.

The thing is most people are afraid to step out, to take a chance beyond their established identity.

I don't know anybody who is raising their hand saying, "Oh God, I love being vulnerable and needy."

There's something about smoking a cigar that feels like a celebration. It's like a fine wine. There's a quality, a workmanship, a passion that goes into the smoking of a fine cigar.

Certainly I'm passionate and driven and quite relentless when I want something.

Like many people, I think I'm my own worst critic. And I think I take a lot out in an internally abusive way, looking at how I measure up, which usually was never enough. I never, never was as good as someone else.

You don't come into this life wanting to be anything other than happy.
