I believe in change – it is the only form of evolution. I don’t like being boxed, and I have the perfect job for that.”Being a mother does not mean sacrificing a career“Children are a commitment for life. They need you.

Once you dive in, you have to fit in and be that character. There is no room for fear. I’m not afraid to be afraid. I don’t know if I’m fearless. I was fearless before I had children.

When you live in the present moment, you forget certain things; I don’t think how old I am and when I woke up. I don’t even look in the mirror. However, sometimes I look in the mirror and think, “Oh Jesus,” or I think, “Why am I always so tired? and I remember, “Ah, I’m older now.” When it hits me, I make an effort to reconnect with life. I’m just amazed that at this age I’m still working and having the best time of my career.”
