“Becoming a mother used to be the last thing on my mind, but I decided I didn’t want to miss the opportunity. I did it on my own, so I wasn’t worried about being held accountable to somebody else. Having her was more and better than I expected. I really cannot imagine not having done it.”
And further talking about her daughter, she described as not so extrovert personality as she is. She divulged,
"She's not a sassy smarty-pants kind of kid; she's a good girl. She doesn't like it if we're out for dinner and I start singing. She'll tell me to stop it – I don't blame her, I understand, so I pull in the reins, put the focus on her.'
