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

~As a mom, you have to look at how much time you're spending with your kids. There is nothing you will regret more in your life - nothing - than not being present for your children.~

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.

Being an actor, you are recognized for being somebody else, whereas these books are distilled from me.

To make new friends you have be willing to put in the time.
