I'm a layperson. I barely got out of high school. I have no business telling people what to do or my big philosophy on life. I'm certainly not going to write any sort of memoir.
Actually, the books were never a planned career path.
The dog actors and the relationship they have with their trainers is one of the most beautiful things I've ever watched happen in front of me.
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.
The truth is James Cameron can do every other job. I'm talking about every single department, from art direction to props to wardrobe to cameras, he knows more than everyone doing the job. But he can't act. And therefore he is in thrall of actors.
My life is so filled with my children, my family, and the charitable work I do.
I've been happily married to Chris for almost 20 years.
All the work built my fame and certainly made me more money, but the toll it took in my home was not good.
I'm age-appropriate. I dress age-appropriately, I choose mates age-appropriately. I'm a big believer in people should act their age...
I love performing and pretending - it's very easy for me.
I have very short hair. It's the only cute haircut I think I've ever had.
Because I know I'm an addict, and I know I'm an alcoholic.
I can play rhythm guitar. I know how to hold a guitar and strum it.
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.
Now all of a sudden I'm so less interested in pretending to be a lot of other people, and much more interested in being me.
It was during a cosmetic procedure that I first had painkillers.
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.
By the way, food and rent aren't the only things around here that cost money. You sleep on the couch.
You'll never see me in the front row of a fashion show. I'm uninterested in it; I find it trivial and banal and boring.
My favorite time of the holidays is when the children have torn open their loot and delivered their verdicts and are looking to you for something else ... memories that have nothing to do with things bought.
Kids are going to try drugs and alcohol; that's part of society.
I too was a little embarrassed by my recent topless 'scandal' and the subsequent parodies.
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.
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.
