Yet I wanted to have children, and I knew that was my purpose, but I wasn't going to settle.

For years, I thought I simply didn't dream. I felt left out. Everybody else had a thing I didn't have.

It's not like I don't have my own wants and dreams anymore - it's just that the kids come first. It's primal.

I think a lot of people settle with comfort. I've kinda pushed my whole life not to do that. There's nothing wrong with settling, it's definitely an easier life than the one I've chosen to live.

The secret to having everything you want out of life is the realization that you really don't want most of the things you think you want.

There are times I wish I was more conventional. I would get a husband and a baby and a big SUV in the 'burbs and be happy. But forging my own way - my career, my relationships with wonderful but troubled people - that's who I am.

I am quite a dreamer. I think we all are dreamers. We all don't like to live a practical life all the time. There is a thin line between our hopes and dreams.

To be without some of the things you want is an indispensable part of happiness.
