It's a conversation that nobody really likes to have, and it seems that we never can get to a solution with it and something horrific happens. We all stand back and say, "How could we let that happen?" and then it goes away and we move on.

I do a lot of writing about my family.

Being a mother has been my greatest teacher and also the most self-sacrificing thing I've ever done.

It was never about sort of being famous. I just wanted to be good at what I did.

I had to accept the fact that sometimes things happen that are out of our hands.

I'm a big 'American Idol' watcher, and sometimes I like to watch 'America's Got Talent.' Those are big, corny admissions, but sometimes it's so fun to see those kids really sing their hearts out.

My thing about having another child was, time's-a-wasting!
