The best feeling in the world is when your child comes up to you and lays their head in your lap, for no other reason but just because. I can't wait to have more.

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.

Im in my mid-30s, Ive won an Oscar, I have four children. You figure out if my deafness has adversely affected my life.

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.

When you're up for an award at the Oscars, try as you might, it's hard to concentrate on the show.

It seems we're always in transition and that it's more about trends than it is about what's meaningful.

I have always resisted putting limitations on myself, both professionally and personally.
