I can tell you right away that no marriage is easy.
I still have dreams, but instead of having them written on a little piece of paper, I live a little bit of them every day.
I don't weigh myself. I don't have a scale in the house.
We have taught our children that meanness gets you nowhere in life.
Learn to distance yourself from the criticism.
I don't want my kids to be raised thinking they'll get into a park and people applaud.
I want people to get to know me, because I want to get to know them.
I think people have this perception of the life that I lead, or that we lead, of drivers, the high life. It's not that.
I don't want to be going to bed at night thinking that people want to harm us, or my family, because that's when the lioness comes out.
Sometimes, I would like to be alone in the woods and run and roll on the ground and play with my kids. And I do, and that's what keeps me grounded.
When humans look at each other and look long enough into their eyes, some people are totally uncomfortable with that. I am not.
Humans need to touch each other. We need to look at each other… We are human creatures, meant to be linked… So, yes, it's a gift for me to be able to look at somebody that I know or don't know, that I love or maybe not love, and to be able to connect.
My mom - For me, she has the spirit of an angel. She's a healer without even knowing it… She's beautiful inside and out. She doesn't know she's that.
Am I completely indifferent to criticism? No, not at all. But I know who I am and I have learned to respect and care for who I am.
I have three kids, I'm an active person, and we keep things real, and you've got to focus on the positive.
On official trips you listen to officials who guide you and also clothing choices, because there are certain places where you have to have your head covered for example, or whatever it is, and I listen to the professionals.
Once Justin decided to go on the political scene, all the spotlights were on him. I think we've done pretty well finding a balance and a centre. It's a very scrutinized life.
I think not only Canada but the world as a whole is called upon to really choose leaders who can generate unity and compassion throughout the world. This is how you find peace, right?
Justin's real weakness is, he's very much in his head. He intellectualizes a lot.
I organize everything. The kids' lunch to the finances to the spending to the house, groceries, everything.
