People win 'Oscars', and then it seems like they fall off the planet. And that's partly because a huge expectation walks in the room and sits right down on top of your head.

I've become really comfortable with my sexuality and making no excuses for it anymore.

Sexuality is part of being a woman, it's part of what empowers us when we're smart enough to know how to use it.

Career is important, but nothing really supersedes my roles as a mother.

I'm not afraid of portraying anything on-screen

What's the worst that can happen? If it doesn't do well I can put on my big girl panties, deal with it and move on.

As a woman, when you embrace where you are in life, then I think the struggle [life] isn't so hard. If you're 42 and still think you're an ingenue, then you've got a problem.
