Personal Quote:

On why she never adopted a child: Because it is the hardest job ever. As if.. not more responsible as a teacher's job. I know what it is to be deprived of a father's love. I would want a child to have both parents. That's why I've never thought of adoption.. or of having a child out of wedlock. (February 2008) See more »
