I don't want to get married personally, ever. I don't believe you need to get married to be a professional, to have a family or to be happy. I don't want to get married, and I don't want children. It is a personal choice and a promise I have.

Certain people aspire to have a family and children; I am not one of them. I have different aspirations.

It's never been a dream of mine to have a husband and kids. The thought of it gives me anxiety. I think children are wonderful. A family is wonderful, but I feel like the world has changed so much, and women have revolutionized themselves so much that you can choose the kind of woman you want to be.
