In the end the only thing that you can have on your side is time. The only way to gain time is by living it. And if I live expending my energy worrying about other people's perceptions, then I'm missing my moment.

I'm an incurable optimist and a go-getter - it's in my nature to focus much more on what makes me happy than what makes me nervous.

I don't read reviews, and I don't include the press as part of my priorities or as part of the world that has any validity to what's really important to me.

The scalpel won't make you happy.

I've never been one of those people who has an extremely high level of crisis. I just don't need all that emotional drama.

I had worked my whole life. Until I became a mother, that's the only way I measured my value.

Not caring more about what other people think than what you think. That's freedom.
