I love being a mother. I loved being a daughter, a sister, a wife. I love being a woman with men. I love having given birth.

For me, nothing has ever taken precedence over being a mother and having a family and a home.

I believe strongly in the rights of women... my mother is a woman, my sister is a woman, my daughter is a woman, my wife is a woman.

Don’t marry a man who doesn’t love his mother and a woman who hasn’t been a good daughter.

I love babies. I love being pregnant and I loved giving birth.

I was about to die; and then she gave me a birth again
