I admit that Post-it note sheets that adhere to virtually any surface are now my substitute of choice for retention.

Self-acceptance has been a blessed by-product of middle age.

I was getting offers. I had just turned them down. Then I realized I should be grateful that at age 54, people were still offering me film roles.

People can get crazier as they get older. I can just be weird whenever I want, and there's the freedom of not caring what people think.

The most important thing in life is your family. There are days you love them, and others you don't. But, in the end, they're the people you always come home to. Sometimes it's the family you're born into and sometimes it's the one you make for yourself.

I remember being in tears at the hospital after Chloe was born, at the thought that someday she would have to leave home.
