I think of myself not just as a dreamer, but as a dream chaser.

The dreamers of today are the architects of tomorrow.

I think I've probably re-invented myself three or four times now, if that's what one calls it.

Being a mother of two myself - and two small girls - I think that single parenting is hard.

Finally my dream came true in that there was a possibility that I could travel to the International Space Station. I've gone through the medicals and the training and now I'm officially, by the Russian Space Federation, a cosmonaut in training.

I can never say that I will never return to musical theatre. There may be a part in the future that I really want to do. I love plays as well. I am very open to ideas. I hope to do many things in the future.
