Because you're responsible for [children]. You are there to protect them, not possess them. I tell them, "Watch me and you might learn something."

I'm not trying to win an award for being the best vegetarian, just want to be healthy.

All of my children are the same way I am. They're little artists too, in their own ways.

I really enjoy being the child's 'welcoming committee' and to help someone usher his or her spirit into the world in a very peaceful way is very effortless to me.

I was the bohemian in my family, the "this is my favorite shoe and I don't care if it has tape around it" kind of person. The tape could become a fashion statement. Or a political statement.

Im a hip-hopper, and its something you live and do. It makes me angry that were misrepresented, that were being killed every day by one another, by the government, by the food we eat, the choices we make. It makes me angry because it doesnt have to be that way and it is.

What opens my heart is when my son wakes me up in the morning, nudging me and saying, 'Mommy, mommy!'
