My children without a doubt are my greatest accomplishment. If I did nothing else I would feel just having and raising them would be enough. The rest is icing.

I think sometimes I intimidate people. I've been told that. But I feel I'm the least intimidating person possible.

I always say that kindness is the greatest beauty that you can have.

I had a whole bunch of very successful movies. I have worked with some incredible people - incredible.

As a single mother of four, my mother taught me that you always want to show up strong for the moments that really matter with family, friends, and community. I now recognize how her strength helped shape the person I am today and the mother that I have become.

We can sit around and go, okay, is there really a plan, does somebody really know what's happening, is it all planned out, because sometimes it just seems too remarkable to me the things that have happened to me.

There is a comfortable feeling in small towns. It is salubrious.
