I can never describe myself as a movie star. I don't know when that happens but it's certainly not me.

A lot of people assume that women of a certain age who are not unattractive have no excuse for not having a perfect life. But you can have emotional baggage that is dragging you down like cement blocks tied to your feet.

If you fall off a horse, you get back up. I am not a quitter.
