Oh, God, I struggle with low self-esteem all the time! I think everyone does. I have so much wrong with me, it’s unbelievable!
Some people go shopping – I cut myself.
I’m getting a wrinkle above my eyebrow because I just can’t stop lifting it, and I love that you know.
I like someone who is a little crazy but coming from a good place. I think scars are sexy because it means you made a mistake that led to a mess.
When I get logical, and I don’t trust my instincts – that’s when I get in trouble.
I think what children can handle and what they’re interested in is much deeper than people assume. It’s why sometimes we make things too simple for them.
I’m looking very much forward to growing older. I want to be an exhausted older woman but with a very full life behind me and one still going.
I’m odd looking. Sometimes I think I look like a funny muppet.
To be intimate with a married man, when my own father cheated on my mother, is not something I could forgive. I could not look at myself in the morning if I did that. I wouldn’t be attracted to a man who would cheat on his wife.
It’s a natural thing for a child to lose a parent. I lost my mom too young but it happened. And I’m happy she’s out of pain, ’cause I love her and she’s my friend.
It’s easier to be with somebody. But it’s better to be single if you’re with the wrong person.
I notice that my characters go out to dinner and have fun and take these great trips, but I spend so much time on their lives, I don’t have much of a personal life of my own. I have to sort of remember to fill out that little notebook on me.
I never save things and I never take pictures. I wanna live in the moment. I don’t wanna be focusing on the past.
I believe the only people that should be around a child and raising a child are people who absolutely, 100 percent love that child.
But we survived, and we’re a good family. I just don’t want to dedicate one more tear, or watch my mother cry one more time.
At the end of the day I’m gonna be dead one day, and what people say about me is going what I accomplished and what I did in my life and how my children are. And I don’t think it’s gonna be what was printed in the tabloids this year.
To be in any way a positive contribution, that’s all anybody wants to be. It’s all I’ve ever wanted to be. I wanted to be an artist, be a mother. You want to feel that in your life you’ve been of use, in whatever way that comes out.
I’m still having trouble convincing Pax that underwear and pants go together – underwear is not pants!
I never thought I’d have children; I never thought I’d be in love, I never thought I’d meet the right person. Having come from a broken home – you kind of accept that certain things feel like a fairy tale, and you just don’t look for them.
I think I should learn French and be a better cook – basic, really good life stuff.
