I think it's very empowering to be able to have a career and to be a mother. It gives you an amazing sense of self.

I am a better mother for having something in my life and not just my children.

I find being a mother is a huge advantage. Of course, I'm probably a little more tired than I might be if I didn't have children, but I think they provide me the balance that I need to keep my mind off of lifting.

Career is important, but nothing really supersedes my roles as a mother.

Having the option to be able to have a career and feel good about yourself as an individual and still be a great mother is definitely a possibility.

It's complicated coming from a culture where to be a mother is more important than to have a career.

No mother, or father, should despair over whether or not they can afford - or access - the health care their child needs.

I've sort of made up my mind that I have to do my career and I have to be a mother. These are my two responsibilities; of course the baby comes first.

Nothing can prepare you for the all-consuming nature of motherhood, and I am very aware of my good fortune, as I spent years fretting about whether I'd ever meet anyone to have a baby with.

Being a mom has made me a better person. It's made me more compassionate. It's just awesome. I think I was put here to be a mom.
