I'm one of those people who does a lot of things. I'm lucky. I get up and I have a lot of energy. I have a great work ethic.

I think happiness comes from self-acceptance. We all try different things, and we find some comfortable sense of who we are. We look at our parents and learn and grow and move on. We change.

I actually think there's an incredible amount of self-knowledge that comes with getting older.

I'm a disciplinarian. I'm the tough love pet owner. I believe in very well-behaved animals.

There is a point when you aren't as much mom and daughter as you are adults and friends.

Once we get out into a kind of an open world, we really do learn about ourselves and for me it's a lesson in discovering yourself, discovering your inner resources and then literally, in the movie, finding your voice.

I have to be careful to get out before I become the grotesque caricature of a hatchet-faced woman with big knockers.
