I'm a creative person who had a lot of dark time in my life. I can still get to it: I can still go to a relationship or a time when things weren't great. But it's getting further and further from me.

My mother was a very positive thinker; she was always active, always doing something good.

When I was 20, my mother died and I went off the rails a little bit. I kinda had my slightly dark period.

I like to think of myself as a positive person. Otherwise I wouldn't have had a child.

I didn't really inhabit myself until I was in my 30s. And motherhood is an epic event. You can't help but be altered by it - and it is important to be.

Becoming a mother was the single defining event of my life. It felt like the whole world shifted.

I always tried to do things by example, even though I was not a very good mother regarding routines and family life.

We all go through sad times, but I was brought up to be positive.

I think I may have failed at a lot of things, but the one thing I can say, and that I'm proud of, is that I am a good parent.
