My mom, we had a relationship. I knew she loved me. I always knew she loved me. But she didn't, openly or overtly, express, you know, affection and love. But I - I knew. I knew she did.

I was looking at myself, and acknowledged that I wasn't in love at all with him [husband]. I was in love with having children.

I personally do not believe I'm irresponsible. Everything I do revolves around my children.

The majority of people do not accept my choices.

I believe all children are - are blessings from God. And to allocate that rule to a doctor - to - to dispose of a life is uncomprehensible to me.

I don't believe I'm selfish in any way.

What it gives any human being a right to - to pick and choose which embryo - which fetus is more valuable than another. That's is not up to human beings.

I have no interest in being famous. I'd love to vanish from the public eye as soon as I can.

That was always a dream of mine, to have a large family, a huge family.

I think there are a lot of things in life that are not fair. But life, I believe, isn't always perfect and idealistic.

I'm providing myself to my children. I'm loving them unconditionally, accepting them unconditionally.

It is important to speak your truth, not to convince anyone else of it. Everyone must make up their own minds.

I write because he needs to know.

I'd say I'm definitely an actor first and foremost, but I love filmmaking.

It was the desire to do the complete thing. I only took taking acting lessons because my whole thing, really, was to direct. But my first jobs were acting jobs.

Don't text or twitter during the show. Just live your life. Don't keep telling people what you're doing. Just, because also - also - it lights up your big dumb face.

Our amour fou with 'The Sopranos' is headed for long-term parking, like so many of its most memorable characters. We'll never see a show like this again.

Do not follow any road, but that which Christ trod. This road seems hard, but it is safe.

Let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion, honor and humility, mirth and reverence within you.

Avoid doing what you would blame others for doing.

I Think it is lost.....but nothing is ever lost nor can be lost . The body sluggish, aged, cold, the ember left from earlier fires shall duly flame again.
