On surviving the tough times:
“You realize that those difficult moments, the times when you feel pain, are when you do a lot of your growing, you realize: There’s no reason to be terrified of things. Either way I’m going to be OK.”

On her love life:
“The hard part is that you never stop believing in love. But that’s also the best part. You never stop believing, and you never, ever give up."

On being a parent:
“I feel the pressures of wanting to be a great parent and of wanting to do right by my children. Being a mom, or a dad, is the most important job there is. It doesn’t matter who you are. You have to embrace it for everything that it is.”
