Getting sober was the single bravest thing I’ve ever done and will ever do in my life.
I have very short hair. It’s the only cute haircut I think I’ve ever had.
I don’t think any woman wants to be known for being beautiful or busty. I think you want to be known for who you are.
When I know something I like, I just want to replicate it.
Because I know I’m an addict, and I know I’m an alcoholic.
All the work built my fame and certainly made me more money, but the toll it took in my home was not good.
It’s not that I’m retired; I just no longer accept acting work.
You can’t live a truthful life without regret.
My mother and stepfather were married 43 years, so I have watched a long marriage. I feel like I had a very good role model for that. And, you know, it’s just a number.
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 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.
The media nowadays has given the message to adults. Don’t try new things, don’t look foolish because we will catch you and then broadcast it to the world. I think children don’t have that.
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.
I feel very positive where I never did before, and I think that’s all a direct result of getting sober.
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.
By the way, food and rent aren’t the only things around here that cost money. You sleep on the couch.
I can play rhythm guitar. I know how to hold a guitar and strum it.
Actually, the books were never a planned career path.
I barely got out of high school, and I look back at my life often and go, ‘Wow, this was awesome!’
I respect so much the work that so many women do but that’s just not what I do. I have a job where I advertise yogurt that makes you poop and that people love and people tell me about their bowel movements every day.
I’m one of those people who does a lot of things. I’m lucky. I get up and I have a lot of energy. I have a great work ethic.
