When I was younger I'd berate myself: You're fat, you're not a good dancer, you'll never have a boyfriend. I don't sweat that kind of stuff anymore. Now every day is a miracle. I've also learned that if something is painful or upsetting, you shouldn't hide from it. You should make it part of your life instead.

I used to get some ego thing out of saying I wasn't a star, just an actress. Forget it. I'm a star. I wanted it. I worked for it. I got it.

Don't go to the funeral until the day of the funeral - live this day.

Don't miss your life.

Be grateful for each moment we have and be happy, but more than anything live it fully.

However motherhood comes to you, it's a miracle.
