I used to have to downplay my sexuality because I wanted to be taken so seriously as a thespian and as an artist and as an actor, so I'd play crack heads and down trotting women and disguise myself, and I think as I've gotten older, I become more comfortable with who I really am and all parts of me knowing that my physical self doesn't diminish me in any way or my talent.

If you set out to do something and you give it your all and it doesn't work out, be willing to modify your goal slightly. Have the ability to look in another direction. A small shift could guide you to the real purposes of your life.

There have been so many people who have said to me, 'You can't do that,' but I've had an innate belief that they were wrong. Be unwavering and relentless in your approach.

I didn't think it was possible at my age, honestly. They call it a geriatric pregnancy.

After all, everybody has secrets and there are some things that nobody knows about you but only you, right?

Being a mother is probably the most important thing in my life right now.

I find when I have short hair, I feel like I have nothing to hide behind anymore.
