I am lucky to have three daughters who are completely different. I look at my daughters and I have different relationships with all three and there are parts of each personality that are very special.

Love breaks your heart, love takes no less than everything. Love makes it hard, and it fades away so easily.

And when people give me their word, I listen to them.

You're always going to have people that are naysayers, that don't believe in your talent, that don't believe that you have any kind of longevity.

And at 19, you think you rule the world, and you can control things. And a lot of times, you don't.

Well, my mom taught public school music for almost 40 years. And she's about 5 feet - and very mighty. And she would control her kids a lot by giving them the eye, or the stare.

I have several friends that have outlasted both of my marriages that are raising wonderful children together that have been together in gay unions for over 25 years. So they're doing a better job than I am!
