There is a point when you aren't as much mom and daughter as you are adults and friends.
We look at adoption as a very sacred exchange. It is not done lightly on either side. I would dedicate my life for this child.
I work with The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University. I sit proudly as one of only two recovering addicts on their board.
My husband and I are very different. Our company is called Syzygy Industries, which can mean a pair of opposites. And that's exactly what we are. Yet there is obviously a very strong pull toward each other.
Pilates is the only exercise program that has changed my body and made me feel great
Well, I could do it for a day, but I wouldn't want to be a teenager again. I really wouldn't.
Pick clothes that you really love. And wear them. And don't make anything "special." If it's being held for something "special," wear it to the market. Wear it every day!
If you just watch a teenager, you see a lot of uncertainty.
People need things. I don't live a monk's existence, I'm a consumer, but I try to do it to the level that doesn't feel like there's an overabundance of something.
Being a parent is a weird juggling act - and nobody does it right. Everybody does it wrong.
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?
When I know something I like, I just want to replicate it.
My breasts are beautiful, and I gotta tell you, they've gotten a lot of attention for what is relatively short screen time.
I've been in showbusiness all my life, but as an actress I have never been overly driven.
I don't ever want to make taking pictures into another way of saying 'Here I am'. Because I'm as here as I want to be.
Without my women friends, I wouldn't know anything. They've been my teachers and my mothers. My mother was a wonderful person, but she didn't give me a lot of the stuff I needed to advance myself as an adult woman. I have a really strong group of girlfriends, and we share a lot with one another - the complications of raising children, marriages, personal and physical struggles.
I had the best time I ever had on a Jim Cameron movie - True Lies, 1994. It was the single most freeing experience as an actor I've ever had. And, of course, in the midst of it there was this humungous circus that he conceived.
I'm a performer. I've just been one since I was a little girl. I used to pretend all the time.
It's not unlike the movies for human actors. Once a dog stars in a movie, they don't work very much anymore. It's kind of heartbreaking.
I try to go to the gym three times a week. And I have to watch what I eat. I'm a normal person.
I barely got out of high school and I look back at my life often and go, "Wow, this was awesome!"
Being an actor, you are recognized for being somebody else, whereas these books are distilled from me.
[Comedian Jerry Seinfeld was nominated for a Grammy for his spoken-word children's album] Halloween... Don't Give Up on Me.
We sit at our consoles and play "Gears of War", but we don't see images from war. We don't turn on the news and see the evidence of war, the result of war. Maybe twice a year, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, we'll go out, we'll hang our flags, we'll try to inculcate in our children some sense of national honor for the fallen. But really, we don't see it. We just don't see the pictures. There's no drive-by on the freeway of death up close. So we don't really see bravery.
The same way that mid century modern architecture was in the 50s, I want to be as a human being. New. Different. Challenging the old. Function over frivolity. Clean living. Clean lines.
