Every day my mother had tea. My dad has his ritual cigar. They had their evening cocktail. Those rituals were done nicely, with flair and feeling.

I wouldn't trade my career with anybody's. I'd trade a few movies with Tom Hanks - 'Apollo 13 and 'Forrest Gump' - but other than that, I love my career.

I love being regarded as a sex symbol, but I can't take it too seriously.

I've never had that concern of thinking of myself as stupid.

My nature is happy. And all I can control is my response to input. If you come around me and tell me bad news all the time, I can say, "You know what? I don't want to hear it." If its just gossip, you know, I can choose not to hear it. And that, in effect, can control my mood.

Having kids is something you can't always do. Kids are like lightning. You grab that lightning when you can get it.

I don't mind gearing my life towards privacy. It's my nature.
