It was during a cosmetic procedure that I first had painkillers.
So, am I friendly with my daughter and her friends? Yes. Am I their friend? No. Does she shut the door? Yes, and I very much support the shut door.
I feel very positive where I never did before, and I think that's all a direct result of getting sober.
I was doing a children's book on self-esteem, and I really felt like I wanted to shed the shame I'd been feeling - and maybe make it easier for women my age who had probably felt bad about themselves.
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.
I'm a disciplinarian. I'm the tough love pet owner. I believe in very well-behaved animals.
My marriage? Up to now everything's okay. But it's a real marriage - imperfect and very difficult. It's all about people evolving somewhat simultaneously through their lives. I think we've emotionally evolved.
And I was ashamed of myself for feeling like I had to do that in order to look a certain way. I felt misshapen, just not natural anymore. And I think it was a big stimulator of my drug use.
By the way, food and rent aren't the only things around here that cost money. You sleep on the couch.
If I'm honest I don't think the world would miss me if I never acted again.
I have very short hair. It's the only cute haircut I think I've ever had.
Being an actor, you are recognized for being somebody else, whereas these books are distilled from me.
With short hair you have to get a haircut every two or three weeks. And if you're coloring your hair, you have to color it that often. Every time I did it, I felt fraudulent.
