It was not always easy because I was always an individual and found it difficult to be one of a group. One person who was very supportive was my father. My mother was great but my father really recognised my individuality and supported me in that

It's my experience that you really can't lose when you try the truth.

I eat right, I sleep, I work out, I'm happy. I have a beautiful family, nice friends. I choose the good things. I choose the happy, healthy things. I don't choose the bad, unhealthy, unhappy things.

What I learned was there's no roles for women who won't be in their 40s. For women who will be in their 40s, there's a ton of work.

I'm enjoying my years, I'm enjoying my life, I'm enjoying my family. I'm just happy - a happy person.

This idea that being youthful is the only thing that's beautiful or attractive simply isn't true. I don't want to be an 'ageless beauty.' I want to be a woman who is the best I can be at my age.

When I'm with my friends' teenage children, I always say, 'Are your friends having sex yet?'
