I'm part of a community that holds each other up, and it's been great to be held up too.

Growing up in an Italian family, you use a harsh tone and 10 minutes later everybody forgets about it.

It's more likely in America that your parents will file for bankruptcy than divorce. We think of divorce as so prevalent, but we all know that happens because somebody moves out of the house.

I'm not a victim - I never want to be perceived that way.

A lot of people have great hope, and a lot of people who have great hope live. And, some of them who have great hope die. So it's not that hope is going to save you.

A lot of sad stories in a row - that wears on you.

I am imperfect in a million ways, but I always thought I was the kind of woman, the kind of wife to whom a husband would be faithful.
