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

I used to dream of being normal. For me, if Kirk Douglas walked into the house, that was normal.

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

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 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.

I've had a little plastic surgery. I've had a little lipo. I've had a little Botox. And you know what? None of it works. None of it.

I barely got out of high school and I look back at my life often and go, "Wow, this was awesome!"
