A lot of actresses will just go, "I'm 35." And I thought, " I'm not doing that." I like being 40.

I did a guest appearance on The Practice and loved it.

I like to be bought flowers and taken out for dinner. I like a man to be a gentleman. I don't like to be treated as if I am brainless. I like to be respected and to give respect.

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.

Nobody took me too seriously but I was grown up even as a baby.

There was a point in my 40s when I went into the bathroom with a bottle of wine, locked the door, and said, 'I'm not coming out until I can totally accept the way that I look right now.'

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.
