"I think that women who are extremely driven to success, ambitious, I think they get to a point in their lives where they're like, 'Uh oh. I am 30-something years old, and I don't have a husband and I don't have children yet and what does that mean?’” she told the mag.

"I think what it means is stay in your course because it's going to happen when it's supposed to happen. It doesn't happen for everyone at the same time, so you can't compare your life to someone else's.”
