The ups and downs, the problems and stress, along with all the happiness, have given me optimism and hope because I am living proof of survival.

I've never had an acting lesson. I've never been given techniques. Everything I've done is invented. I just sort of found out [how to do it].

Acting is, to me now, artificial. Seeing people suffer is real. It couldn't be more real. Some people don't like to look at it in the face because it's painful. But if nobody does, then nothing gets done.

When people say, 'She's got everything', I've got one answer - I haven't had tomorrow.

I have a woman's body and a child's emotions.

I am a very committed wife. And I should be committed too - for being married so many times.

Why shouldn't gay people be allowed to be able to marry? Those against gay marriages say marriage should only be between a man and a woman. God, I of all people know that doesn't always work!
