I feel like I come from a smaller off shoot of black people because I am mixed. People say I’m African American but that doesn’t include the other half of me.

If my time with my kids is shorter than it was yesterday, it's better than nothing.

I get anxious. That lovely Jewish guilt that comes with ancestry.

To grow up with the loss of your mother is a scar that never goes away.

Most of my life I didn't feel very normal. There's definitely been some moments where I feel like, all right, I've finally graduated and I'm a normal lady.

I have an equal opportunity womb!

I was a loud child, and if my mother sang to me, I would be quiet.
