My parents were very artistic, but busy.

I would literally have to go meet people so they could see I didn't have big red hair and wear high heels constantly. It was just really ingrained in people.

I do a lot of writing about my family.

I don't live in an outlaw world and I don't carry a gun.

I'm a better mother if I'm also doing my work. Some women find a lot more satisfaction from doing the hardest job, which is being a mom. But I like my day job, so I juggle a lot.

I have pretty strong views about censorship, and I don't like it. I believe that we should be able to monitor our own families and our own children.

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