I was a 16-year-old girl at one point, so of course I wrote poetry.

My job as the mother of daughters is to make sure my children see that every opportunity is available to them.

I have less energy than I did when I was a younger parent, although I was never really a young parent.

If I had given up everything that my life was about ... I'd let cancer win before it needed to.

I'm actually one of those people who get up energetic in the morning.

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.

It's just a part of our nature to hope.
