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.

But I had a very traditional background as well. My parents are neat people.

I would love to do something like Austin Powers to show off my comic timing.

I think that life force is invaluable.

It was brief, swift, and then it was done. It was a professional job. I needed to be kissed, and I was kissed.

You know what daring really is to me? It's maybe much more simple: the willingness to get up and try it again. It's not about whether or not you fall down, it's how you get back up. And I've taken quite a few tumbles, myself.

Even, today, when people tell me I'm beautiful, I do not believe a word of it.
