My last son is leaving to go to college; my grandchildren are being born. My mother is living with me.
I've never had my heart broken.
And I realized that sometimes the greatest triumphs in your life come in on little cat feet and sit on silent haunches and it's up to you to see it before it moves on.
I had to let my ego go a long time ago.
I never really address myself to any image anybody has of me. That's like fighting with ghosts.
When you have kept yourself isolated, no one relates to you, you have no way of understanding actually who you are.
You like me, You really like me!!!
Motherhood is given the brush-off in our society. 'Oh, I'm just a mom,' you hear women say. 'Just' a mom? Please! Being a mom is everything. It's mentorship, it's inspirational, it's our hope for the future.
But there isn't any second half of myself waiting to plug in and make me whole. It's there. I'm already whole.
You try to get rid of the things that are weighing you down.
I haven't had an orthodox career, and I've wanted more than anything to have your respect. The first time I didn't feel it, but this time I feel it, and I can't deny the fact that you like me, right now, you like me!
I was raised to sense what someone wanted me to be and be that kind of person. It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else's eyes.
The whole world is waiting. The whole world needs you.
Western Costume, and the old Universal wardrobe that is huge and they're getting rid of so much of it now, which is sad.
