When I was born, the doctor looked at my mother and said, "Congratulations, you have an actor!"

Change is never easy.

When you're old, you are more certain of who you are, and that may be a good thing or a bad thing.

To watch how lovingly your children parent their own children is to know profound achievement.

I find that I'm not as worried anymore about what other people think. That's a comfortable place to be. And I'm starting to let go of the feeling that I need to push myself to do things I don't want to do - an impulse that has always been linked to the feeling that I'm not enough.

But there isn't any second half of myself waiting to plug in and make me whole. It's there. I'm already whole.

You may be a little older, or a little more neurotic, or a little more closed off. But inside, you're just the same.
