I never 'shunned' L.A., like people say. And I do think you can raise children well there, but it's definitely harder.
I willingly devoted myself to my children and to my husband. I come from a broken home, and I decided a long time ago that I would put my family ahead of everything.
When the children were little, I'd fly into L.A. for a specific work project, but then I'd leave again, and when I was home, I wouldn't even read a script.
My children without a doubt are my greatest accomplishment. If I did nothing else I would feel just having and raising them would be enough. The rest is icing.
My children haven't even seen most of my movies.
I think a lot of times people who jump from one movie to another don't enjoy their private life. It's a great way to escape reality. But I enjoy my life.
I still love finding the soul of the characters I play and defining who they are. This to me is my paint set, and the colors are always exciting to choose.
There are lots of great actresses who are great because they'll do anything.
I had a whole bunch of very successful movies. I have worked with some incredible people - incredible.
I love being an advocate for women as we get older so that we can feel comfortable with ourselves. It's all about being healthy for me now.
I love the idea of living a life that is completely humble and quiet.
My favourite thing is to be somebody else, no longer be me.
I like to work out every day. I run, walk, do machines. I'm not neurotic about food. My rule is, don't let yourself get over a certain weight. If you gain 5lb, stop before it gets worse.
Some women are naturally thin. But there needs to be an appreciation for a variety of types of women because we don't all come in one package. We're not pre-destined to all be a size six.
