One thing that I am proud of: I am really capable of laughing at myself.
All those cliches, those things you hear about having a baby and motherhood - all of them are true. And all of them are the most beautiful things you will ever experience.

I just try not to label myself in any way. I just have an allergy to labels in general. I can tell you that I am surrounded by very strong women and that I really appreciate that, but I'd rather not label myself.
You cannot live your life looking at yourself from someone else's point of view.
My ambition is to be happy.
I spend so much time living by myself - mostly in hotels - and I pick up cats when I'm feeling particularly lonely.
