I have witnessed the softening of the hardest of hearts by a simple smile.

Liberation is an interesting word, because you can be liberated from external things, and also from your internal dialogue.

I'll have a lot of wrinkles on my face, but I feel like my heart will be fat and full.

Family has always been the most important thing in my life. The only real goal that I ever had was to be a good mother.

I believe that life is about doing. It's about changing. It's about transitioning. I can't imagine, as a human being, not being able to grow.

Why not just live in the moment, especially if it has a good beat?

All I ever wanted to be was happy.
