Focusing on the way I look makes me uncomfortable. I try to focus on the way I feel - I know what makes me feel better about myself. Reading my child a story makes me feel great, doing my hair nicely doesn't.

I don't believe we own our children, they're their own souls who make their own choices, we just guide and support them.

I choose movies, I never choose roles. I look at the script. I look at the director. I look at the other actors - and then the role.

Anyway, I believe you don't fix the inside by putting something on the outside.

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.

For a while I was on the cover of every Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, which was regarded as the pinnacle of success in America.

For 15 years, I've been playing the same character - which is myself - and I'm bored with 'myself'.
