The only thing I can't do is hear. I can drive, I have a life with four kids, I work on TV, I do movies, so the deafness question, is it that they want to know because, what? Not sure.

At the end of the day, it's about the best interests of the children.

I guess not being able to hear just made me adventurous and daring. And in most cases, that didn't make my parents very happy with me.

I was the youngest and only girl in a family of two older brothers.

I'm not really deaf; I just faked it to win the Oscar KIDDING.

It was ability that mattered, not disability, which is a word I'm not crazy about using.
