In My Early 20s, I Had This Idea That I Was Going To Front A Band, Like Robert Plant Of Led Zeppelin. I Didn't Just Want To Be The Chick Singing Ballads About Somebody Breaking My Heart.

When I Was A Kid About Joining The Peace Corps. It Said It Was "the Hardest Job You'll Ever Love." This Is What Parenting Is, As Far As I'm Concerned. This Is Parenting. That Is The Friggin' Peace Corps. Because You Don't Love Doing This - This Is The Thing You Love The Most In Your Life, It's The Best Thing You Ever Do.
