My mother never wanted me to focus on my physical self. She always said that beauty is what you do.

I am a hopeless romantic. And I won't stop till I get it right. I don't think I'm unlike a lot of people. I am just someone who is trying to find that mate, and I think it's a really hard thing to do. And I'm not willing to stay somewhere where I am really not happy. And I am not willing to pretend I am for the kid's sake or so that I don't have to go through another public humiliation.

I archive a lot of my clothes and have them wrapped up and in boxes. I call them 'little tombs' and keep them in a storage space... I would never get rid of the dress I wore on the night I won my Oscar. When I die, someone can have it, but not a minute before!

Motherhood sort of puts things into perspective, and it's bout real life, and life is about people, what we give, what we take, what we share.

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.

Sexiness is a state of mind - a comfortable state of being. It's about loving yourself in your most unlovable moments.

Any time you risk big you often risk losing big. You can win big but you can also lose big, but you have to be willing to take those risks.
