Kids are going to try drugs and alcohol; that's part of society.
We are all born worthy. Worthy of love, worthy of success.
Getting sober was the single bravest thing I've ever done and will ever do in my life.
My mother was the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. There are moments when I remember her beauty, unadorned, unposed, not in some artificial place like a set or a photo call but rather captured outdoors in nature, where she took my breath away. When those moments surface, I miss her the most.
Children are paparazzi. They take your picture with their minds when you don't want them to see you at your worst. Trust me, they SEE and HEAR everything.
Pick clothes that you really love. And wear them. And don't make anything "special." If it's being held for something "special," wear it to the market. Wear it every day!
It's not that I'm retired; I just no longer accept acting work.
When I know something I like, I just want to replicate it.
The same way that mid century modern architecture was in the 50s, I want to be as a human being. New. Different. Challenging the old. Function over frivolity. Clean living. Clean lines.
You'll never see me in the front row of a fashion show. I'm uninterested in it; I find it trivial and banal and boring.
Being a parent is a weird juggling act - and nobody does it right. Everybody does it wrong.
Life is not supposed to be this calcified experience where you don't change.
For years I stopped reading beauty magazines because I couldn't look at one without wanting to blow my brains out. How can those women look so good?
I've been in showbusiness all my life, but as an actress I have never been overly driven.
