I have a place in the Broadway community that can only be earned.
It was my mom and I against the world. We lived in New York in this bohemian lifestyle where an extended group of artists and photographers were like my aunts and uncles.
I took my work seriously, but not as a craft. More as a life.
Two eggs do not an omelette make
I could never, ever have an abortion.
At Princeton I gained a great deal of pleasure from success in my classes. knowing that I could accomplish those things, and I realized that my success was directly proportionate to the work I put in.
We all struggle. I'm not saying any successful woman's life is without struggle. But it doesn't mean it has to be miserable.
Have faith in your own thoughts.
I just felt as though I would never be happy again, and as if I had fallen into a big black hole.
What does good in bed mean to me? When I'm sick and I stay home from school propped up with lots of pillows watching TV and my mom brings me soup - that's good in bed.
It's okay to be successful and it's also okay to be happy with your success even though it might not be easy.
Smoking kills. If you're killed, you've lost a very important part of your life.
I'm so naive about finances. Once when my mother mentioned an amount and I realized I didn't understand, she had to explain: 'That's like three Mercedes.' Then I understood.
I hope this will help new moms not feel alone or desperate, and that there is no shame in their feelings. PPD is out of their control, but the treatment and healing process is not.
