Are you trying to manipulate me? It's working.

My son has two loving parents and an extended family, whether it's cousins or stepmothers or boyfriends. My son is surrounded by love.

I'm not sure anyone - and I could be wrong in this - grows up thinking, I want to be a single mom.

All of a sudden, you have this newborn you have no training for. It's frightening.

I'm not one of those people who thinks they simply deserve success. I have the drive to work.

I miss the noise in New York: the sound of taxis and that constant buzz the city has.

I have become that mother I used to dread.

Everyone says, 'You give birth, you go home, and you have this amazing baby and it's just beautiful'. And I walked in and I just started sobbing.

The longing to produce great inspirations didn't produce anything but more longing.
