My blood runs cold when I hear the 'great news' that we have found a marker for the Down's syndrome gene, which means we can identify it more easily. Why is that good news? It's only good news if you're going to terminate.

Once you have a Down's syndrome child, you can't conform. In a way, you're free.

I'm sorry to say I'm very lizard-like. My skin is dry, so covering my face in greasy antioxidants is a better alternative.

I have three boys, so I live in a household full of testosterone.

I tell people that I'm a Christian, but I don't think it's giving an insight into who I am or what I'm about.

I always carry a pair of scissors around with me to cut things out of magazines.

A lot of things in 'Parents' I find very truthful.
