Yes, and you should question your government.

This idea of selfishness as a virtue, as opposed to generosity: That, to me, is unnatural.

There can be no better measure of our governance than the way we treat our children, and no greater failing on our part than to allow them to be subjected to violence, abuse or exploitation.

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

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

So much of my sense of who I am is tied to mothering. When they left home, I fell into a huge, empty, black hole. Your children are grown and your career has slowed down - all the stuff that took up so much attention is gone, and you're left with expansive time and space.

I have always followed the most passionate course.
