As a child, my whole life was books. They were my fantasy. That's where I could go. That was a lot of times [what] saved me.

Regrets are ridiculous, so I don’t regret, no.

I don't really make decisions, I go with the flow.

I didn't do so well in the academic world, so I think the only way I could express myself was through visual art - anything I could get my hands on, whether it was glassblowing, sculpture, painting, or photography. I always wanted to be a painter. Or a farmer.

I love just sitting quietly meditating. With an hour free, it depends. I love getting down on the floor and playing with my kids.

The power of work, and the power of creativity can be your salvation.

I still feel vibrant and alive that way. I'm in a marriage where we put an enormous amount into our marriage. I always say, there's me, there's my husband, and then there's the "us," the us that we create. That's what we really take care of. We never, ever take it for granted. We do everything we can to be together, not to be separated for periods of time. We're just a very, very tight family unit, and we're really kind to each other. I think it's so underrated; people don't appreciate the necessity of that in society now.
