So many women waited until later to get married and then even later after they got married to have children. And then they have problems, and it takes them five, six, seven years to have children.

Surrogacy used to be difficult, because the woman that was carrying the child was biologically related to the child. And sometimes you can still do it that way, but you do not have to do it that way anymore.

We need to reform our school lunch programs. We need to get healthy items into the vending machines.

I had three children while doing a show, as demanding as 'Good Morning America,' so this is - you know, it's almost like I'm less daunted about motherhood, and parenting at this point in time. And I think I'm just much more fit and healthy than I was 20-years-ago.

Our life is all about the choices we make, and when I was looking for a mate for life, I really was looking for someone who was a family man, somebody who would embrace my girls as much as they were going to embrace me. I guess I just wasn't finished having children yet.

I feel fortunate I have this amazing relationship with so many people in America, because I was in their homes at a very private time of day. They probably might have still had their robe on and their slippers and haven't made the beds.

Holding on to anger, resentment and hurt only gives you tense muscles, a headache and a sore jaw from clenching your teeth. Forgiveness gives you back the laughter and the lightness in your life.

I think that in our society we should do everything to encourage child-bearing and family-making. And I think that if insurance will cover Viagra for men, it should also be covering these kinds of methods to try to build families.

A positive attitude is something everyone can work on, and everyone can learn how to employ it.

Usually people have gone through years of in vitro, just trying. The dilemma that faces infertile couples right now in America, there's so many of them. That's why - you know that's why I started talking about it, so that they didn't hear just the terrible stories.

A fulfilling life is different to each person. You have to acknowledge your dreams, and not just wait for life to happen, and opportunities to come knocking at your door.

I'm still a news junkie. I mean, I always was, I am now.

We can all learn to live jubilantly. We can all learn to alter our attitudes so that we can better realize our dreams.

Remove failure as an option.

I'm almost reluctant to say it because it sounds superficial, but when you lose your hair, it just affects the way that you look at yourself in the mirror. You feel less feminine, pretty or desirable, and it's not an easy thing to go through.

Exude happiness and you will feel it back a thousand times.

To be able to look at change as an opportunity to grow - that is the secret to being happy.

Remove failure as an option and your chances for success become infinitely better.

I heard those words that every woman fears and never wants to hear, 'You have breast cancer.

Often, we don't recognize real moments of happiness in our lives because we've been expecting something different- something bigger or perhaps more dramatic.

I wanted to show that your health is more important than your hair.

Forgiveness gives you back the laughter and the lightness in your life.

Anything you think you "must have" usually comes to own you.

Holding on to anger only gives you tense muscles.

It is reassuring to know that I can control how I feel and what I do on any given day. The eay I choose to see the world creates the world I see.
