When you have children, you realise you can't plan anything. There's no Plan A, no Plan B. Life will happen and you will go with it.

I have no ego. There is no way you can have a big ego and survive in this [show]business. You can't learn if you think no one else has anything to say that's of value.

[After the twins' birth,] I spent two years doing nothing. I was a wife and a mom. But you need that time to grow. You can't be afraid of, 'Oh, I'm out of the public, then I'm going to have to make a comeback.' It's ridiculous. No.

Beauty is only skin deep. I think what's really important is finding a balance of mind, body and spirit.
