We are all born worthy. Worthy of love, worthy of success.

Being a parent is a weird juggling act - and nobody does it right. Everybody does it wrong.

People need things. I don't live a monk's existence, I'm a consumer, but I try to do it to the level that doesn't feel like there's an overabundance of something.

I'm a performer. I've just been one since I was a little girl. I used to pretend all the time.

We look at adoption as a very sacred exchange. It is not done lightly on either side. I would dedicate my life for this child.

Without my women friends, I wouldn't know anything. They've been my teachers and my mothers. My mother was a wonderful person, but she didn't give me a lot of the stuff I needed to advance myself as an adult woman. I have a really strong group of girlfriends, and we share a lot with one another - the complications of raising children, marriages, personal and physical struggles.

I'm uninterested in superheroes. I am only interested in real stories, real people, real connection.
