For 10 minutes, I was somebody's mother, and that was both the most traumatic and also the most transcendent experience of my life.

The 10 or 20 minutes I was somebody's mother were black magic; there is no adventure I would have traded them for.

The loss of my father was the most traumatic event in my life - I can't forget the pain.

This thinking that you can have every single thing you want in life is not the thinking of a feminist. It's the thinking of a toddler.

No one could save me from the grief of losing my child or losing my first marriage. I had to do that on my own.

My heart goes out to him because of what has happened to his life, ... It's a traumatic experience.
