I live in a kind of controlled awareness. I wouldn't call it fear, but it's an awareness. I know I have a responsibility to behave in a certain way. I'm able to do that.

I still feel as if I weren't a good enough mother. I didn't break any rules. I didn't cause my son any pain. But I did bring to my life some of my father, who was very controlling and very remote. I was working a lot. I wasn't there enough.

I would surround myself with people who know what they're doing.

Adolescence has such a negative connotation and it shouldn't. It's experimentation, it's being unsure, no preconceived notions.

I'm not an actress who can create a character. I play me.

Maybe mom is my alter ego and the woman I'm able to be when I'm working.

The thing is I never want to be an observer, it's only in retrospect that I wish I had observed.
