I've been in showbusiness all my life, but as an actress I have never been overly driven.

People get real comfortable with their features. Nobody gets comfortable with their hair. Hair trauma. It's the universal thing.

Children are paparazzi. They take your picture with their minds when you don't want them to see you at your worst. Trust me, they SEE and HEAR everything.

It's not that I'm retired, I just no longer accept acting work.

I respect so much the work that so many women do, but that's just not what I do. I have a job where I advertise yogurt that makes you poop, and people love it and tell me about their bowel movements, every day.

Actually, the books were never a planned career path.

My favorite time of the holidays is when the children have torn open their loot and delivered their verdicts and are looking to you for something else ... memories that have nothing to do with things bought.
