I have been fiercely private, in part because I could never understand how a journalist could be otherwise. I was also the mother of small children, and security concerns were paramount.

My goal is to see that mental illness is treated like cancer.

I can cook; but not well. I figure I have six years until my children discover what their friends' mothers make for dinner.

Nobody calls me silly. That is not a word that applies to me.

Kids learn more from example than from anything you say; I'm convinced they learn very early not to hear anything you say, but to watch what you do.
