Acting has been my lover and best friend. My confidant and my tormentor. It has given me support and broken my heart and mended it.

Motherhood is given the brush-off in our society. 'Oh, I'm just a mom,' you hear women say. 'Just' a mom? Please! Being a mom is everything. It's mentorship, it's inspirational, it's our hope for the future.

Many people must have looked at my life and thought I was quite fortunate. But I felt lousy about myself - and as you now know, I didn't come from a place where I had a lot of self-confidence.

When it came down to doing the nude scene, I couldn't hide how humiliating it was for me; I burst into tears.

Fear is where the information is.

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

I've never had my heart broken.
