I'm a woman, a mother, a daughter, a sister. I'm a real person operating in the world. For me to discuss the most private thing feels wrong. It feels like I'm betraying myself and my children.

I'm not saying it's for everyone, but it's better to be alone than in a lousy relationship.

Violence against women is an appalling human rights violation. But it is not inevitable. We can put a stop to this.

I just have a desire not to judge and view things compassionately.

That goes against what I believe morally. That's adultery, and if I'm accused of that, no, that's not right. I have two kids who see that and remember that and judge me. It didn't happen, and it's not to be reported that way.

People can tell you what to do, but ultimately, we're all going to die, so how do you want to live?

I want to be in places I've never been before.
