I love children and I love family and I love that interaction. Because I had a really close relationship with my mother, I understand that deep powerful love, and it's so beautiful. To be a mother to a child is the most brilliant gift; it's gorgeous.

I have solid decent people around me, and I believe that is all it is, because you will get destroyed if you have people bringing you down.

I don't have a ton of friends, but the friends I have are great ones. I don't have huge family, but the family I have is a great one.
