My marriage? Up to now everything's okay. But it's a real marriage - imperfect and very difficult. It's all about people evolving somewhat simultaneously through their lives. I think we've emotionally evolved.

If you just watch a teenager, you see a lot of uncertainty.

Hollywood is the backdrop of my family, and I know that the movie business is incredibly cruel as you get older.

I was doing a children's book on self-esteem, and I really felt like I wanted to shed the shame I'd been feeling - and maybe make it easier for women my age who had probably felt bad about themselves.

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

For years I stopped reading beauty magazines because I couldn't look at one without wanting to blow my brains out. How can those women look so good?

The more I like me, the less I want to pretend to be other people.
