• The only thing I collect is art. I collect it because I like looking at it. A lot of it is really personal stuff that my friends have made, paintings that my husband's mother made, and things that I bought.

To have a wall of art to look at, I feel really surrounded by love, because so much of the work is related to my friendships.

And then, finally, of how my appearance had forced her to realize she hadn't learned to cope at all.
