Youre supposed to be the leading lady in your own life, for Gods sake!

There were days when I would say, 'God, I can't be without Leo'. He was my rock. We were such a team, nothing could break us, nothing could come near us.

I simply couldn’t conceive of how devastating it would be not to be able to hear my children’s voices. Not to be able to communicate with them, to hear them learn, grow, and express themselves verbally. How fortunate, how blessed I am. This overwhelmed me. I can talk to my children, I can respond to their needs and comfort them when they tell me they are unwell. I can tell them stories and hear them tell theirs.

Loving someone is setting them free, letting them go.

I have just wanted to be an actress. That's always been my goal. I didn't want to be famous.

I was a wayward child, very passionate and very determined. If I made up my mind to do something, there was no stopping me.

If I had a child, I wouldn't let them go to drama school. At times, I was really unhappy there.
