The challenging part of parenting for me is to make sure that an individual person is an individual and not some sort of cookie-cutter version of me. At the same time, I want to make sure that I impart my sense of the world as an adult.

I've always put my family first and that's just the way it is.

My mother and stepfather were married 43 years, so I have watched a long marriage. I feel like I had a very good role model for that. And, you know, it's just a number.

If you just watch a teenager, you see a lot of uncertainty.

Well, I could do it for a day, but I wouldn't want to be a teenager again. I really wouldn't.

I'm not a prophet. I'm not a teacher. I have no degrees. My degree is from the University of Life.

I've etched out who I am through myriad haircut attempts, outfit attempts, beauty attempts, diet attempts. It's been an evolution.
