My mom said I was a handful. Now I'm helpful.

It's very hard, when you're a famous person, to "de-famous" your home, but tokens of my fame just felt like a burden for my children. And for me.

I feel very positive where I never did before, and I think that's all a direct result of getting sober.

I think my capacity to change has given me tremendous happiness, because who I am today I am completely content to be.

Fifty is a big corner to turn. It used to mean being put out to pasture, but it's the opposite with me. I feel more vibrant; I'm more active than I've ever been. The F-word really is freedom. It's the freedom to have dropped the rock-the rock of addiction, of family, of comparisons with other people. It's being fit and focused and kind of furious.

I've always put my family first and that's just the way it is.

Getting sober was the single bravest thing I've ever done and will ever do in my life.
