I say no to a lot of things that just don't fit my life. I involve my kids in what I'm struggling with so they don't compete with it. ↗

I try to combine my work with my family, that's what I aspire to. I don't say that's the only thing. It's not all work and family, because otherwise you would be saying no to the many other things in life and there are many other things. ↗

If you asked somebody, 'what do you wish for in life?' they wouldn't say 'happiness.' I would have answered 'excitement, knowledge,' God knows - I mean, many, many different things, but certainly not 'happiness'. It seemed like a foreign concept to wish for something that specific and that singular. ↗

Can you imagine? But it was fascinating to work that close to that kind of animal. ↗

There's an old saying that God exists in your search for him. I just want you to understand that I ain't looking. ↗
