Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.

I think when you love a child, it's a different kind of love. You think, 'I love more every day. I love more every day, more every day, I couldn't possibly love any more, I'm going to blow up.'

The only man who has stolen my heart is my son.

My family is my life, and I'll never lose that.
