I dont believe in predestination, even though I was raised a Presbyterian.

I love being a mother...I am more aware. I feel things on a deeper level. I have a kind of understanding about my body, about being a woman.

I was not a womanizer; I didn't date a lot. If I kissed somebody, I was basically married from that point on.
