Eventually you just have to realize that you're living for an audience of one. I'm not here for anyone else's approval.

I have my hands full with my kids and so romance is not high on my list of priorities.

In order for a man to feel whole, he needs someone to look up to and someone to look up to him.

I started running, and I hated it. Of course, everyone hates running for the first mile. If you're running two miles or twenty miles, it always hurts. Now I live it. I look forward to it. It's really good. It clears my head.

Making love in the morning got me through morning sickness. I found I could be happy and throw up at the same time.

When I'm lonely, frustrated or hurt it usually comes from a male person and from unrequited love. I often carry that pain around with me and my ribs actually start to ache. That's when I sit down and write.

The hardest thing in the world is to have a relationship, to be committed to one person and feel vulnerable. Recently one of my son's came to me and said ''it's hard for me to have a relationship, you and dad have been married three times each.''
