That was the first time I knew I loved him.

I didn't really like my birthday as a kid. My mother used to say, "Sometimes we'd have a birthday party and you would just wander off." But she said it was just my way in the world. It wasn't anything that I was truly interested in.

I just thank god that I didn't grow up with so much money or privilege because you had to create ways to make it happen.

I think any girl who comes to Hollywood with sex symbol or bombshell hanging over her has a rough road.

Taking baths in Africa was a real challenge at times. I got real dirty, and sometimes I stayed like that for 2 days. That was pretty hard going.

Once you become a mother, your heart is no longer yours...My daughter is the greatest thing I'll ever do in my life.

We need to listen more, to hear the silence and live in it.
