The responsibility of carrying and bringing a new life into this world is one that cannot be taken lightly.

I'd love to have a program like 'Dr. Laura.' I studied psychology at the University of Miami, and when I rode the bus home from school, perfect strangers would strike up conversations with me and end up telling me their life stories. I think they could sense that I was studying to help people. That, or I have a face like a priest.

There are certain realities we must speak of with our children that were not present when I was a child.

When I was a teenager, I was fat. I was shy. I wore glasses. I had a big eyebrow and hair all over my body. They were years of torture.

Whatever it is your heart desires, please go for it, it's yours to have.

Sometimes parents, when they have a lot of small children, it's hard because your time's got to get divvied up. There's no other way.

My mum had a very strong moral code, which I kind of came with. I never really had to be told what was right or wrong - I knew. I was very mature from early on and I was a very good girl, so she never had any trouble with me.
