You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them.

As a child my family's menu consisted of two choices: take it or leave it.

Both within the family and without, our sisters hold up our mirrors: our images of who we are and of who we can dare to be.

My father never talked about the sacrifices that the family made for me.

I was born into the most remarkable and eccentric family I could possibly have hoped for.

The only rock I know that stays steady, the only institution I know that works, is the family.
