I know enough of the family life of officers. I scarcely know my own children or they me.

I don't come from money or an educated family background or any sort of supportive family life, so all of my choices are made on my own.

Having my own family has made me realise there's more to life than chasing the next job.

My life and career is my own adventure.

For a while, I thought the great disappointment of my life was that I don't have a family of my own. Then it dawned on me: That's not what I think; that's what married people think.

I'm starting my own family, and there is no other feeling like it.
