My mother was the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. There are moments when I remember her beauty, unadorned, unposed, not in some artificial place like a set or a photo call but rather captured outdoors in nature, where she took my breath away. When those moments surface, I miss her the most.

We look at adoption as a very sacred exchange. It is not done lightly on either side. I would dedicate my life for this child.

My kids are not interested in anything I do. And I mean that not in any dis to my children or dis to me. My kids have their own life, they could give a sh*t what I do.

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

I'm a performer. I've just been one since I was a little girl. I used to pretend all the time.

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'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.
