It's taken me a long time to learn to accept the risks and just be willing to try it over and over again.

I think that life force is invaluable.

There are so many ebbs and flows in life, but when you're raising small children, your family means everything.

It's an interesting thing to be in your forties and evaluate success and take ownership of some disasters and some pain and try to forgive a little bit - yourself and others.

I certainly know I have been blessed with much more empathy than I ever knew I would feel for other people.

I'm an actress and mom, and I probably don't have enough of an active spiritual life. And I don't know why people run around calling themselves by the names of religions when they don't actually practise them.

It is technically a failure when you don't try.
