I was raised in the '50s. I was taught by my father that how I looked was all that mattered.

The glow and energy of the healthy woman is the ultimate beauty, the only beauty that will last.

When I say women are the agents of change, I really should say women and girls.

When you're an older woman [in a movie] you tend to be in - how did you put it? You're the brunt of the joke.

I believe people have different ways of approaching the Word. For me, it's metaphor, written by people a long time after Christ died and interpreted by specific groups. I read the gospels that aren't included in the Bible. These make me feel good about calling myself a Christian.

The bond between a parent and child is the primary bond, the foundation for the rest of the child's life. The presence or absence of this bond determines much about the child's resiliency and what kind of adult they will grow up to be.
