I know I'm only one human being and I'm only making one tiny contribution and it's nothing more than that.

I'm a much better mother at 46... than if I were like, 21 or 25.

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

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.

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.

When I was a kid, my mother told me that if you could not be a good loser, then there's no way you could be a good winner.
