I got a good handshake. A lot of executives tell me I have the best handshake in Hollywood.

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

There is nothing better than being a parent. It is the most challenging job one could ever ask for. I love being a mom and I love being a friend to my children as well.

I've been around since I was 19, I won the Oscar when I was 21, I've had a couple of TV series. I've continued to work despite the predictions of some naysayers.

Silence is the last thing the world will ever hear from me.

It was my father who instilled the “never say no” attitude I carry around with me today, and who instilled in me a sense of wonder, always taking us on adventures in the car, never telling us the destination.

I have made the choices that work best for me. I know I cannot please everyone, and that's fine.
