Reflecting back on my childhood, I know it wasn't functional. I was very unconditionally loved and accepted, I felt, by my father.

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.

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 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.

Everyone I used to work with is still alive and can afford expensive lawyers.

You always have to be very aware that the audience is extremely ruthless in its demand for newness, novelty and freshness.

In some ways, they've added one more card to their playing hand.

I, too, believe in fidelity. But how can I be true to one woman without being false to all the others?

When one has made his demands upon the Universal, he must be ready for surprises. Everything may seem to be going wrong, when in reality, it is going right.

Whether I sign a bill or not, is generally an expression of my personal view on the subject. It's not an interpretation of an existing law.

A novel is a performance you have to plan.
