I remember being seven and asking my mom if I was as pretty as Monique [my best friend in grade school]. And with all the love in the world, my mom looked at me and said, 'Oh, honey, you're so funny.' So, she doesn't lie to me...she answers the question by not answering and instead tells me what she thinks is my greatest strength.

Of course, the ideal scenario for parenting is obviously two parents of a mature age.

The ultimate is finding a place where you have no inhibitions, nothing to hide, where you can learn with one another.

You know, I've got wrinkles on my forehead and smile lines, but what's wrong with that? I love to smile.

I...understand that age is kind of awesome. I am fortunate enough to know women like Gloria Steinem - who I think is one of the most stunning women on the planet - [who] doesn't touch her face. Diane Keaton, Annette Bening - all of these fabulous, fearless women who are flawless - they embrace it!

If we can say, "I loved, and I received a lot of love," then great. That's enough.

The best smell in the world is that man that you love.
