There's a side of me that dislikes feminism. I think we surrendered something and women were unable to reveal any kind of vulnerability.

I think 30 is a big jump from your 20s, but 40 holds no fear for me.

It didn't scare me to be vulnerable because I think that's when you get something great.

Sometimes I think I am still that 5-year-old girl playing with her dogs in the yard. That's how I see myself.

I think service is honorable, and that was always inculcated in me.

I think I'd be more relaxed as an older mum, although fundamentally life with a baby is pretty much the same whatever age you are. It's nappies, crying, feeding.
