A sense of freedom is something that, happily, comes with age and life experience.

Motherhood has completely changed me. It's just about like the most completely humbling experience that I've ever had. I think that it puts you in your place because it really forces you to address the issues that you claim to believe in and if you can't stand up to those principles when you're raising a child, forget it.

Most people go through life dreading they'll have a traumatic experience. Freaks were born with their trauma. They've already passed their test in life. They're aristocrats.

Do you know when life starts, when you understand who you are…

Life experience is not something to be denied, but to be celebrated.

Freedom is what we do with what is done to us.
