My dad worked very hard for the money he made, and my mom worked very hard to keep this household up and running and all the kids fed and everything. And she did it in a brilliant fashion. They both did. In fact, the work ethic, to me, is so important in this life.

I'm very sensitive to energy and people and life and animals and a lot of things.

We need to listen more, to hear the silence and live in it.

I don't have time to be classified as difficult, and I don't have time to care.

I wouldn't trade anything no matter how good or bad or difficult. I'm the luckiest girl in the world as far as I'm concerned.

There's no doubt that becoming a mother was the greatest thing I'll ever do

I'm a very determined person.
