I always wanted to be a great actor.

I certainly have a very colorful nature, filled with great highs and great lows... in my early adulthood I probably was grappling with some serious depression issues.

I had to let my ego go a long time ago.

Had there not been a Mary Todd, there would not have been an Abraham Lincoln. She found him when he was a young lawyer and really a bumpkin. No one knew of him, but she recognized his brilliance.

I haven't had an orthodox career, and I've wanted more than anything to have your respect. The first time I didn't feel it, but this time I feel it, and I can't deny the fact that you like me, right now, you like me!

I so believe that older women have tremendous value to their families, their community, their country, the world.

Quit thinking about your weight and start thinking about your worth and who you are and what you haven't done yet. What you want to accomplish.
