For girls growing up, sometimes I think they get the wrong idea for what women should look like.

For exams, I swotted so hard because I couldn't bear the thought of not coming first.

To be honest, when I was growing up - I think it's because of Kate Winslet and 'Titanic' - I always wanted to do period.

I loved fairy tales growing up.

Family comes out whenever we know it's gonna be steady on a run that's continuous.

Everything in my life I owe to God, my family, the Naval Academy, and the Marine Corps.

I'd spent my twenties trying to be everything to everybody. I had my family, my straight friends, and I was starting to develop a gay circle of friends. I was seeing some men, seeing some women, and trying to sort it all out.

Whatever you build, you're building for the family - not with an eye toward getting away, but with an eye toward adding to the family pie.
