My kids have never seen me scream at anybody. They've never seen an argument. There's never been even a cold silence. And those are things that I grew up with because my parents did end up divorcing.

I grew up kind of a tomboy and I used to fight with all the neighborhood boys.

I'm a very ritualistic, routine-oriented person, and I discovered over the years that I love working Monday through Friday.

Being a single mother was the right thing for me. But I have a tremendous amount of help from my friends. They're in love with my kids, and my kids are in love with them.

I don't have examples in my life of people who are all good or bad; I have deeply loved many people who are both, and I relate to those kinds of people on a far greater level.

I’m not sad about any of my life. It’s so unconventional. It doesn’t look anything like I thought it would.
