For now I'm just enjoying being a mom. I don't want to be more famous and more rich. I want to be a good mom.

There is a pretty girl on the face of the magazine and all I see is my dirty hands turning the page.

I try to give myself permission to be a work-in-progress and not have everything figured out at once. It's more manageable and takes some of the pressure off of feeling like I have to have everything right all the time.

Most of us don't spend any time knowing ourselves. We just keep reacting.

I wrote the song 'Angels Standing By'... to try and soothe myself - rock myself to sleep, basically - because I was so scared and stressed.

I'm half alive but I feel mostly dead.

You have to be an ally in a difficult time and not turn on yourself with self-shaming thoughts, which makes facing pain intolerable.
