A person's self-esteem has nothing to do with how she looks.

Nature has got it all wrong: When you are younger, it should be harder to get pregnant, and as you get older it should be easier.

I think my feet are my sexiest body part. People I find really sexy include Angelina Jolie, George Clooney and my mum.

But I just don't think it's an abyss of nothingness [after death] and that we fall off and that our journey stops. I think it's circular and we go and we go and we go. I know that there are civilizations that I think are way more sophisticated than we are and I think more sophisticated civilizations lived before us.

I realize as you age the less makeup you wear the younger you look.

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.

When I was younger, living in an all-black neighborhood the other kids thought I was better than them because of my light skin and straight hair. Then we moved to an all-white neighborhood and that was a culture shock ... I'd been used to being around all black kids.
