I've made peace with the fact that the things that I thought were weaknesses or flaws were just me. I like them.

I've done all my tricks. I'm tired of myself.

Anything sweet, really sweet, that I have was nothing that I planned.

There's something sexy about a gut. Not a 400-pound beer gut, but a little paunch. I love that.

When you have adversity and you have pain, you never feel more alone than you do at that moment. And you can be surrounded by hundreds of thousands of people.

I never realized that as a woman I would be looked at as less than until I was pretty deep in this business and realized, 'Oh my God. I'm being treated this way because I'm female.

Not everything has to be immediate.
