I'm really happy for him. I think it's great, ... I'm even happier for our daughter, because her trust fund is going to really be healthy.
I really love working. It makes me feel like an even better person when I work. I function much better if I have a really rigid schedule. When I'm left to my own devices, I can just be all over the place.
He's such an awesome dancer that he doesn't have to practice very hard. I mean, really, he's been doing this since he was a kid.
There's nothing wrong with a male's point of view, obviously, but it's just a different way of telling a story.
I would just like to be able to give to people through acting. If I can entertain people by being somebody else and allow somebody to feel something, then that makes me feel good.

People are not used to seeing an older woman on screen, unless she's playing a character role. Why can't they make a movie about a woman who's forty-five who's falling in love or getting divorced? Why does the leading role always have to be a woman who's twenty-three or twenty-eight?
Most people are telling me I look horrible.
