They tried to discredit me. I used to tell them, There's many wonderful people out there who can't have children, who would want to have these children.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've convinced myself - I hope I'm right - that children despair of you if you don't tell them the truth.
I know plenty of people who don't have children. And I also get a lot of people who say, 'Thank you for speaking out; my family don't understand why I don't want kids.'
Somebody close to me once said, 'Oh, no man will ever accept your children.' And I just thought it was the most horrifying thing someone has ever said to me in my entire life. I was determined to find somebody who would make that not true.
I think if you talk to anybody who would like to have had children... I mean, you look at families all the time and you see there is something there that you don't have.
So many people have so much trouble having kids.
I've met people who are baffled by children, as though they were never children themselves.
And I tell people I'm in charge of children, children I haven't even met yet.
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.
I don't particularly like children. That sounds awful, but I have nothing to say to them.
I've never in my life said I didn't want to have children. I did and I do and I will!
