Quotes

Going through that traumatic time of being heartbroken and then being,pregnant turned my whole life upside down and inside out and just,knocked the wind out of me. But I got so much out of that.

I miss the noise in New York: the sound of taxis and that constant buzz,the city has.

I have become that mother I used to dread.

You can be 60, 80, or 16 and still love that man.
