Family has always been the most important thing in my life. The only real goal that I ever had was to be a good mother.

I'm a woman who was raised to believe that you are not complete unless you have a man. Well, in some ways it's true. I am a feminist to a point. But I'm not going to deny the fact that I love to be with men.

So curiosity, I think, is a really important aspect of staying young or youthful.

So maybe that's what the difference is, is that when you intend to be happy, then you figure out ways to sustain your happiness or your ability to feel moments of joy in your life.

I've finally stopped running away from myself. Who else is there better to be?

The biggest lesson we have to give our children is truth.

My eyes are too big, my nose is too flat, my ears stick out, my mouth is too big and my face is too small... my body is thin as a clarinet and my ankles are so skinny that I wear two pairs of bobby socks because I don't want people to see how thin they are.
