When I was growing up, my mother only put her foot down once: She said, 'You are going to college.' And that was a lifesaving moment. But she never talked to me about my clothes or hair. So I learned how to parent my kids through her.

I don't have to go around trying to save everybody anymore; that's not my job.

Women, you can have it all - a loving man, devoted husband, loving children, a fabulous career.

I'm not here to - as a parent, I believe we are specifically here to help our children mature in the way that they can take on their own lives. I'm not here to live their lives for them. That's not my job.

I am a very approachable and personable person, and I always put myself last. Whether it's family or friends, I always think about them first.

I came from a very conservative Catholic family.

My family fulfills me.

There's a lot of stigma attached to being in a home. Other parents don't want their kids to play with you because you're naughty or nasty.
