I haven't always made the right decisions.

I never concerned myself with other people's decisions.

I made the decision a long time ago that I had an obligation to my children that I happily fulfilled.

It's not so much that I ever declared: 'I will never have children.' I just never found the right man to settle down with, so it didn't happen.

But you've got to make choices, and you're not going to be right all the time.

I never wanted children; maybe I'm afraid of responsibility.

You have to let individuals make their own choices and respect that, even if it's your own child. And that's what was taken away from me. My father passed away thinking I still had to go back to his way of believing.

I've never lived my life in the opinion of others. I believe I'm a good person. I believe I'm a good mom. But that's for my kids to decide, not for the world.

I do not hold with those who think it is all right to do whatever you want so long as it doesn't hurt anyone. Who's to be the judge of that?
