I hate jealousy, I hate possessiveness. I'm nobody's possession.
Both my husband and I give a lot of ourselves in what we do because that is our public lives; but in my private life, I have an intrinsic right to be left alone.
I am not possessive at all. In every relationship I have had, the girl has left me. And the fundamental complaint has been that I am self-contained. I am just comfortable with myself and am always on an adventure.
There's the part of my life that the public and I share together. And there's the part that's mine to keep for myself. And that's mine. For me.
Every man is his own ancestor, and every man his own heir. He devises his own fortune, and he inherits his own past.

No, we don't own our children. Our parental privilege is to love them, to lead them, and to let them go.
