I hated my father all my life but in his final days I forgave him for all the suffering he caused us. As you grow older, marry, and have children of you own, you learn and forget. I do not forget easily, but I do forgive.

I still like me, inside and out. Not in a vain way - I just feel good in my skin.

I always try to have a vacation.

Sometimes when you involve yourself in so many things, you can't do any of them well - and I like to do everything perfectly.

When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child.

I can cook, I can breathe, I can live!

If you haven't cried, your eyes can't be beautiful.
