I have great respect and understanding for military commitment due to my own family's involvement with the armed forces.

Giving birth was the most amazing thing I've ever done. I'd been living in a Third World country, and I said, 'I'm going to just squat behind a tree.' I basically did that but in a chair in my living room. I didn't want a sterile hospital room. I didn't want doctors. I had a midwife.

You see airbrushed images of me, but I know the person who's walking barefoot, dodging dog poo in the yard.
