I think the best role models for women are people who are fruitfully and confidently themselves, who bring light into the world.

I didn't have any confidence in my beauty when I was young. I felt like a character actress, and I still do.

I just think that we're all trying to make ourselves emaciated, in order to pretend that we're all disappearing, as we move forward in every level of society and it's so frightening. This is all a big reaction to the fact that there are more women in medical school than there are men now and I am pretty sure it will be the same soon in law schools and in business.

People want what they want. Sometimes you just have to walk in defiance of it and just be yourself.

We are the choices we have made.

I am not always happy. I am happy in front of the press. I can be extremely grumpy, ask my husband.

When your kids come home, they don't necessarily want to talk to you. They just want to know you're standing there, ready to talk.
