Don't be absent from your own life.

I never felt like I belonged in Minnesota when I was growing up there. That's why I was out the door as soon as I turned 18.

The natural state of motherhood is unselfishness. When you become a mother, you are no longer the center of your own universe. You relinquish that position to your children.

When you learn not to want things so badly, life comes to you.

I regret those times when I've chosen the dark side. I've wasted enough time not being happy.

Moments of pure happiness...come upon you unexpectedly. Don't be too preoccupied to experience them.

I am tortured when I am away from my family, from my children. I am horribly guilt-ridden.

Ladies love me when I spray the mic But there aint no "I" in snuggling Aint no "U" in "Stay the night"

FACE A SINGLE FOE as if you are facing ten thousand enemies; face ten thousand enemies as a single foe.

I don't look like no kiwi bird

There's a realization that you have to do something but you just can't do it all the time.
