“When you're a parent, you have to be on your A-game.”

“I don't believe in charmed lives. I think that tragedy is part of the lesson.”

“The thing that I'm most proud of is that I've been able to do a lot of different things.”

“I've always said that I'm a work in progress.”

“I like to be a part of things that are groundbreaking and that are challenging.”
