I am responsible. Yes, I have chosen to be single.

I was looking at myself, and acknowledged that I wasn't in love at all with him [husband]. I was in love with having children.

I personally do not believe I'm irresponsible. Everything I do revolves around my children.

The majority of people do not accept my choices.

I believe all children are - are blessings from God. And to allocate that rule to a doctor - to - to dispose of a life is uncomprehensible to me.

My mom, we had a relationship. I knew she loved me. I always knew she loved me. But she didn't, openly or overtly, express, you know, affection and love. But I - I knew. I knew she did.

I don't believe I'm selfish in any way.

What it gives any human being a right to - to pick and choose which embryo - which fetus is more valuable than another. That's is not up to human beings.

I have no interest in being famous. I'd love to vanish from the public eye as soon as I can.

That was always a dream of mine, to have a large family, a huge family.

I think there are a lot of things in life that are not fair. But life, I believe, isn't always perfect and idealistic.

Our beliefs about our abilities and the capabilities we have are usually the limiting reactants in the chain reaction of our lives.

It is much easier to ride a horse in the direction it is going.

Time is a corporate asset now. It belongs to the free market system. The present is harder to find... The future becomes insistent.

We see a lot of people who decide to go out and teach meditation. They become so wrapped up in it that they stop progressing themselves and they really don't have that much more to teach.

Under the beautiful moonlight, there remains no ugly reality; even muds turn into the diamonds!

Honestly, the most vulnerable part of my life is probably just honest expression, as cliché as that might sound.

The poet Melvin B. Tolson once said "A civilization is judged only in its decline." That made sense to me. I would imagine the same is true for poets and tennis players.

For me, art is a more trustworthy expression of God than religion.

I don't want someone coming in and passing judgment on my life.

My whole family has been having trouble with immigrants ever since we came to this country.
