You know, the more you can meet people from different walks of life, the better it is for you. I think the more you can create situations and experiences that give you new perspective, the better.

I've been working since I was 14, and my father, being very conservative, has always been strict about my having a savings account.

I worked so hard for so long - I did a lot of movies. I also worked a lot when my kids were smaller, before they were in school.

I don't think it's easy for women to watch themselves age. And I think it's obviously doubly hard to grow older when you are a public figure and you constantly have to see your image all the time, and people are constantly pointing it out.

I find the less you focus on your flaws, the better off you are. Be yourself and be glad of who you are.

Being from Orange County is in a lot ways very much like being from the Midwest.
