You don't have to be perfect; you just have to be open.

I grew up in a Navy family.

Life is this great big blackboard, and on it you write all the things that you do.

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.
