I accept my body. I accept how I am and make the best of what I am given.

Having children just puts the whole world into perspective. Everything else just disappears.

I think of myself as a mum who finds the time to go to work. I have to check myself for baby sick before I walk out of the house in the morning. I am really a mum I know I am a great mother.

I simply couldn’t conceive of how devastating it would be not to be able to hear my children’s voices. Not to be able to communicate with them, to hear them learn, grow, and express themselves verbally. How fortunate, how blessed I am. This overwhelmed me. I can talk to my children, I can respond to their needs and comfort them when they tell me they are unwell. I can tell them stories and hear them tell theirs.

The things that make me happiest in the whole world are going on the occasional picnic, either with my children or with my partner. Big family gatherings, and being able to go to the grocery store - if I can get those things in, I’m doing good.

Yeah, acting is very difficult. As much as I love it, and the challenge of it, I'm so often just terrified by it.

There are moments to indulge and enjoy, but I always know when it's time to go home and wash my knickers.
