A mother who is obsessing about being thin and dieting and exercising is not going to be a very good mother.

My mother killed herself when I was 12. I won't complete that relationship. But I can try to understand her.

I'm a good mother. I'm a good person.

If I spread myself too thin, I'm not a good actor, I'm not a good mother, and I'm just really high-strung - and everybody hates me.

For now, for this year, I need to be a good mother.

I want to be a good wife, a good mother, a good person.
