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

I regret those times when I've chosen the dark side. I've wasted enough time not being happy.

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

I've been thinking a lot about next year, which will be the first time in 25 years that I don't have a child at home.

I want to live my life with no goals anymore, but just completely free, like I did when I was younger.

It [military action on Iraq] makes me feel ashamed to come from the United States. It is humiliating.

At a certain age, death becomes familiar to you-or a loss becomes familiar-the tragedies that are more commonplace in life.
