My mother helped me identify myself the way the world would identify me. Bloodlines didn't matter as much as how I would be perceived.

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

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.

Growing older is not such a big deal for me, despite the fears that older actresses have in Hollywood. When I hit 40, for example, I didn't feel 40 - or whatever that is supposed to feel like.

The day I saw my mom eating the Santa cookies on the plate was one of the most horrific days of my life.

My partner is a Frenchman, so I have got to smell right.

I'm just going to live my life and be who I am.
