The Open Hearts design was inspired by my Mom's advice that only when you keep your heart open can you best give and receive love. My hope is that the design will become a universal symbol of keeping an open heart - open to life's new experiences, open to allow something new and beautiful to come in.

And I always think of life like a giant wave. You know, it rises and it crests and it flies, and it's just magnificent, and then it crashes. And for a lot of people, when it crashes, that's the end, and they go down the deep, dark hole of depression.

I know that the purpose of life is to understand and be in the present moment with the people you love. It's just that simple.

I've had two terrific relationships, but both ended in marriage.

My Open Hearts Family celebrates not only the traditional family but also extended families that we create from the people we open our hearts to as we journey through life.

Live each day the fullest you can, not guaranteeing therell be a tomorrow, not dwelling endlessly on yesterday.

I'm proud of my wrinkles. They give my face character. As an actress, you mess with that at your peril.
