When I'm pushing myself, testing myself, that's when I'm happiest. That's when the rewards are greatest.

I had a dozen years to act before starting a family then found that motherhood dwarfed everything else. Once or twice a year, I take a project that appeals to me for its redeeming social value.

You know, I don’t know what the future will bring, but I’m ready for whatever comes!

I didn't worry about leaving the fast lane - I was just so consumed with my baby that it seemed like the right thing to do. I never felt like I left New York, though. If you've lived in a place and loved it, you never feel like you left it.

I lived an idyllic 'Huckleberry Finn' life in a tiny town. Climbing trees. Tagging after brothers. Happy. Barefoot on my pony. It was 'To Kill a Mockingbird'-esque.

You don't forget the movies, but you forget the details of them.

When I'm pushing myself, testing myself, that's when I'm happiest. That's when the rewards are greatest.
