In my personal life I wasn't someone who cried easily, someone who was extremely vulnerable, you know, in that way that's constantly seeking out affirmation from other people. I've always been much more the person who took care of everyone else.

For the moment I prefer to be a beautiful woman of my age than try desperately to look 30.

Certainly I'm passionate and driven and quite relentless when I want something.

Don't let your wounds make you become someone you're not.

Success has to be an inside job. Happiness does not come from external material things. Even people don't make us ultimately happy. It's how we choose to deal with those things that happen in our lives that matters.

I think that laughter and smiling are some of the best antidotes to ageing that you could possibly have. In general, I pretty much think of myself as still being about 5.

I’m honored if I can inspire somebody else.
