I like to stay home a lot. I like to do other things, too, like decorate.

Love comes from the most unexpected places.

I hated singing. I wanted to be an actress. But I don't think I'd have made it any other way.

I don't think I'm tough in a so called tough way. I'm tough on myself.

I've always liked working really hard and then doing nothing in particular. So, consequently, I didn't overexpose myself; I guess I maintained a kind of mystery. I wasn't ambitious.

To have ego means to believe in your own strength. And to also be open to other people's views. It is to be open, not closed. So, yes, my ego is big, but it's also very small in some areas. My ego is responsible for my doing what I do - bad or good.

I do have friends that are Republicans, and we have very spirited conversations on a whole range of issues. I am often baffled by why they are Republicans, but I enjoy the dialogue and can move beyond politics to find common ground in my personal relationships.
