Before we had the kids, my husband and I were traveling a lot and working and really enjoying our lives and each other. We both love the theater and books and travel and so we were really having a lot of fun.

I was not an easy kid.

Christians - whether as a priest, a nun, a minister, whatever - have just been stereotyped to death. You try to be a model of kindness and love and forgiveness to all those around you, because you have received kindness and love and forgiveness from God through Christ. That's what Christianity is.

And I started as a journalism major at Ohio State, ended up in theater and I love to read.

In reality, most women 'choose' abortion because they believe they have no other choice.

This is the other thing: we make the cost of raising kids higher than it has to be just because we feel they need all this stuff, like gadgets, certain schools, and activities that are nice but aren't really necessary.

Anytime anybody is rude, it makes me double-check my own behavior to make sure I don't do that to other people.
