Motherhood has a very humanizing effect. Everything gets reduced to essentials.
Mothers are all slightly insane.
I think motherhood is just about instinct.
I never stop being a mother and I never stop being an artist. You understand? Which is probably why my kids are so creative, because it's not separated.
Motherhood is the strangest thing, it can be like being one's own Trojan horse.
