When you relinquish the desire to control your future, you can have more happiness.

• Even as a child I had a strong relationship with yearning and desire. And loss. Those things spoke to me.
• You've just got to have a sense of respect for the person you have children with. Anger doesn't help anybody. Ultimately you have to say forgiveness is important, and honoring what you had together is important. But it's easy to say and harder to do.
• I think I would be very sad if I wasn't able to have a baby.
• I was walking around legally blind. Now I have 20-20 vision. I can't believe I spent so many years blurry, but I think that coincides with how I was feeling. Now I notice if people are watching me, but I also smile right back if someone waves, which helps.
• It's a very brave thing to fall in love. You have to be willing to trust somebody else with your whole being, and that's very difficult, really difficult and very brave.
• Even from a very early age, I knew I didn't want to miss out on anything life had to offer just because it might be considered dangerous.
• I never knew I'd be in a musical, let alone win an award for one.
• You've just got to have a sense of respect for the person you have children with. Anger doesn't help anybody. Ultimately you have to say forgiveness is important, and honoring what you had together is important. But it's easy to say and harder to do.
• I'm not sure what the future holds but I do know that I'm going to be positive and not wake up feeling desperate. As my dad said 'Nic, it is what it is, it's not what it should have been, not what it could have been, it is what it is.'
• I think when you're in a relationship where you really care for the other person, when they achieve their dreams it's better than when you do yourself.
