For me, getting comfortable with being famous was hard - that whole side of it, the loss of anonymity, the loss of privacy. Giving up that part of your life and not having control of it.

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

The value of a good education has never left me.

I'm a perfectionist, so I can drive myself mad - and other people, too. At the same time, I think that's one of the reasons I'm successful. Because I really care about what I do.

I feel less pressure to dress youthfully. I'm 50 and everyone knows I'm 50 - who are you kidding? Jeans are my uniform. I have about 15 pairs.

Even though I don't feel I need approval, it's still important to me to give a good performance. I'm hard on myself.

I know that I want to wait for something that I really feel great about.
