For me, just being on the cover of a magazine wasn't enough. I began to think, what value is there in doing something in which you have no creative input?

I feel beautiful when I'm at peace with myself.

A few pounds show a lot on my body. But it's okay. I believe women look good with a bit of softness to them.

I used to wear heels because I wanted to show people I wasn't ashamed of being tall. But I don't wear them any more because you don't have to wear heels to be beautiful. I can't even remember the last time I wore heels.

It's not vanity to feel you have a right to be beautiful. Women are taught to feel we're not good enough, that we must live up to someone else's standards. But my aim is to cherish myself as I am.

As long as people want to see me in movies, and as long as I find it interesting, I'll keep working.

It's always been very clear to me that I was going to be a mother and that my purpose in life was to give life.
