I had a big family - two older sisters and a younger brother. My family was like moving around a lot so I lived in a lot of small towns. My father was very restless.

If Ive got a clean pair of jeans and a T-shirt, thats usually a good day for me.

I have always followed the most passionate course.

I never felt like I belonged in Minnesota when I was growing up there. That's why I was out the door as soon as I turned 18.

...we must remain hopeful that for our children and our children's children, that we are not a warring nation, but we will embrace and practice true compassion and honor the ideals of peace and freedom, and we will not give up.

Everything is transient. Everything is constantly changing. The only thing we have is now.

For me, nothing has ever taken precedence over being a mother and having a family and a home.
