When an opportunity comes your way, it's about making sure you're prepared to be the one who can walk through the door and deliver the goods. And I've had a lot of luck on my side and I've been prepared for that luck.

I would say a magical thing happened on when the big 40th birthday came. I felt like a light kind of just went off, and maybe that's because I felt like at 40 I had the right to say and be who I wanted to be, say what I wanted to say, and accept what I didn't want to accept.

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

I've always thought that when anyone receives an award for acting they should always thank their fellow actors, because the only way you're going to deliver your best performance is when you have other good actors on the set supporting you and being very present for you even when the camera is not on them.

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

I've always loved the pomp and circumstance of dressing up; the pagenatry and all of the glamour of Hollywood.

I do not love to work out, but if I stick to exercising every day and put the right things in my mouth, then my diabetes just stays in check.
