I dreamed about these moments, and I think I hoped I would have them, but you don't know. So when the lucky break hits, it's like being Cinderella and hopefully midnight doesn't come.

Of course, of course I'm grateful. How can I not be grateful? I have been afforded such a wonderful life.

I've had paranoid panic attacks.

I'm a talker. I love a good debate.

Smoking sucks! The one thing I would say to my kid is, ‘It’s not just that it’s bad for you. Do you want to spend the rest of your life fighting a stupid addiction to a stupid thing that doesn’t even really give you a good buzz?'

I'm not really a first-move kind of gal.

I look back at my twenties and see that I was much less confident.
