I'm lucky to have been raised in the most beautiful place - Amherst, Massachusetts, state of my heart. I'm more patriotic to Massachusetts than to almost any place.

It's taken me a long time to learn to accept the risks and just be willing to try it over and over again.

I'd like to classify my life as a romantic comedy. Unfortunately I feel it's probably more like a TV reality show.

If you're not ready to be in a relationship, going out with someone much younger than you is probably a great idea, because you both can have a decent experience and hopefully nobody will end up feeling cheated when it ends.

I had to go to a mirror and look at it. I couldn't picture myself in my own head. I had no image beyond a stick figure. I wasn't a mean person as a kid, or dumb, and something has to be said to justify excluding you.

Urban women don't breed in their twenties. Shortly after, I became a mother too, which is why I was probably so child friendly.

It is technically a failure when you don't try.
