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.
I've been going through photos of my mother, looking back on her life and trying to put it into context. Very few people age gracefully enough to be photographed through their aging.
I don't have great thighs. I have very big breasts and a soft, fatty little tummy. And I've got back fat. People assume that I'm walking around in little spaghetti-strap dresses. It's insidious - Glam Jamie, the Perfect Jamie, the great figure, blah, blah, blah. And I don't want the unsuspecting 40-year-old women of the world to think that I've got it going on. It's such a fraud. And I'm the one perpetuating it.
My favorite time of the holidays is when the children have torn open their loot and delivered their verdicts and are looking to you for something else ... memories that have nothing to do with things bought.
If indeed it's a race Then the chicks do the most It isn't a brag Or an estrogen boast It's the women who've led me With big open hearts If not for their love I'd have failed at the start. And it's not just the mothers I speak of them ALL It's a woman there first When somebody falls. The multi of tasking That's easy to tease I dare a great man To try it all, PLEASE! So this is my shout out My rallying cry To women all over I hold you up high And though there are others Who'll think this poem strange It's the women who plant The root of big change.
All the work built my fame and certainly made me more money, but the toll it took in my home was not good.
I'm a layperson. I barely got out of high school. I have no business telling people what to do or my big philosophy on life. I'm certainly not going to write any sort of memoir.
I do as much charity work as I can and that my family life will allow. I do believe charity begins at home and the more we focus on our families, the better they will be.
I used to dream of being normal. For me, if Kirk Douglas walked into the house, that was normal.
I'm a performer. I've just been one since I was a little girl. I used to pretend all the time.
I try to go to the gym three times a week. And I have to watch what I eat. I'm a normal person.
