- She said: "I'm trying to figure out how to do things differently than I grew up with. I know a lot of what works and what doesn't. I've got some really great blueprints of what not to do. I will have boundaries and consistency and protection and traditions.
- "I'm very protective of her right now. I know that unless we were to move into a bomb shelter that she will have to go out into the world and be exposed to a life that I've set up for myself for 37 years.
- "I can't wait to pick her up from school - just being in the line of cars when she gets out. I want her to live a life where she knows we will be there. That is everything to me. That is what I wanted when I was a kid and it's what my kid will have."
