Quote

All lives have triumphs and tragedies, laughter and tears, and mine has been no different. What really matters is whether, after all of that, you remain strong and a comfort to your loved ones. I have tried to meet that test.

My writing comes not from the happy moments, but from struggle and grief.

I've had at least my share of tragedy, but I have had far more than my share of happiness.

Life is life, and one has experiences that are painful and some that are very pleasant, and one has reward and sacrifice and more reward and disappointment and joy and happiness, and it's always going to be the same.

The moment that changed me for ever was the moment my first child was born. I was happy, filled with hope, and thought, 'Now I understand the whole point of work, of life, of love.'

For me, life has either been a wake or a wedding.

I've had an incredible life with a lot of triumphs, my share of heartbreak, and some pretty amazing experiences.

Everyone has their own different life experiences which make them who they are. No two people's life experiences are the same. And mine are just unique to me.

Life is a comedy when watching and a tragedy when experiencing. I try and share anything I have.
