I'm just not one of those people who thought having biological children was that important, to me it was more about wanting to raise a child.

My friends started having children after college, while I was pursuing this crazy acting career and living hand to mouth. Plus, all my boyfriends were artists struggling to make a living. Having kids didn't make any sense - why would I take on more of a financial burden when I couldn't even afford a dog?

I've never been all that interested or aware of what people are thinking about me or saying about me. I think that has kept me safest and sanest.

I don't have examples in my life of people who are all good or bad; I have deeply loved many people who are both, and I relate to those kinds of people on a far greater level.

I'm not sad about any of my life. It's so unconventional. It doesn't look anything like I thought it would.

I never really wanted kids. I didn't not want them, but motherhood just wasn't something that pulled at me.
