It's the closest to death I have ever been. The chemotherapy takes you as far down into hell as you've ever, ever been.

My ultimate joy and happiness is being a wife and mother.

People ask me, 'Is being a parent the be-all, end-all?' And I say, 'Oh, it definitely is up to the person, and it is difficult, it can be very difficult, and it can be extremely healing.' That's what I have found, that the children are mirrors. Everyone is a mirror, but children especially because they're day and night and all day long.

I think I'd like to be inspirational to anyone who has a dream, anyone who wants to make more of their life than maybe what is set out in front of them. And you can!

I'm not one for big public displays of affection, anyway. Straight, gay, whatever.

I think I've been on a path ever since I was born, a path of high stress. I put myself, my career, it was a big old juicy carrot right in front of me for all of my life.

There is no fear when you choose love. The more you choose love, the more love is in your life. It gets easier and easier.
