Falling in love for the first time, and then the heartbreak of having it end, is difficult, but I don't think it would ever hurt as much as when my mother was killed in the boating accident. I feel a part of my heart has already been broken, and that place is reserved for mother.

I'm much more of a minimalist. My mom was Russian, so she loved lots of jewelry and opulence and tons of paintings on the wall and lots of clothes. I'll buy one thing that I love a season and wear it all the time.

If I walk into my house and something is askew, I can't do anything until I fix it. It's so burdensome to live that way.

Pure memory isn't based on recall but rather involuntary memory that's in your body and your nerves.

Being vulnerable has always been my way of dealing with my grief, from the beginning. Even before I knew I was that way, I cried it out all the time. I expressed my feelings.

I thought my mom's whole purpose was to be my mom. That's how she made me feel.
