One thing that's great about having kids, especially given my career, is that it forces you out of your narcissism. I mean, I'm in a career where my product is me. So it was nice to have something, someone, come along and take the focus off me. I really needed to give myself some distractions from myself.
It's simple. Eat well, exercise and get lots of sleep but make sure you indulge occasionally. At my age , I think , what the hell , and eat a Krispy Kreme doughnut !
I've never lost my love for acting. I feel really at home on the movie set. I'm a more balanced person honestly when I'm working.
There's always an imbalance with actors and actresses in the industry. And I think because there are just fewer movies overall being made, it's that trickle down effect.
Maybe I haven't done enough movies, but haven't found that men are more difficult than women.
I think there is a major difference between actors and actresses. All of the men I've worked with have been really difficult, whereas the women have always been extremely cooperative. I began thinking about that, and I think it comes down to a question of comfort with vanity.
You've got each other's back. I think if everyone shows up with that attitude, then everybody has a great time, and I think the work is better as well.
I've been working since I was 14, and my father, being very conservative, has always been strict about my having a savings account.
I used to do drugs in high school. I've been living in L.A. for almost 10 years, and shortly after I arrived I cleaned up pretty much. Stuff goes on on the set, stuff goes on at parties.
I've worked with very few actors who have been at all difficult.
I don't really know what Hollywood is. I've never really known.
My kids would probably say that I'm too strict. They probably would say that, and I try not to be, but I'm probably more on the conservative end of that. At the same time, I know full well that ultimately I don't really have control over them.
People who are rude to waiters... I don't like that sort of thing. People who take cuts in line... it doesn't fly!
When you're young and have a dream, it's pretty simplistic. You don't think about or have any way of knowing everything it can be, and anticipate that.
Well, I'm very stubborn. I think I have common sense; I'm probably at times a bit tunnel-visioned, but I'm strong.
Everybody is vulnerable to being in relationships where they get fooled. I'm no different. It's just human nature.
It's harder to live the way I live. There are certain places I like to shop and eat where I simply don't go. The paparazzi follow you.
I feel less pressure to dress youthfully. I'm 50 and everyone knows I'm 50 - who are you kidding? Jeans are my uniform. I have about 15 pairs.
I've been painting off and on since I was in sixth grade. I don't paint when I'm acting - I'm not really able to split my focus that way. I do it intensely when I'm doing it, but I'm reluctant to take myself too seriously as a painter because that would mean there would be pressure to be better than I am.
If I do a move I don't like, I don't want to get so upset with myself.
I've always had a very extreme personality, which gets me into major trouble, I'm always all or nothing, and I don't know the world "balance." I'm desperately trying to learn it because I think as you get older it becomes very important.
You know what I'd like to do? I'd like to play a bag lady.
I was considered the black sheep of the family, neighbours didn't want their kids playing with me.
I'm a Taurus. To the bone.
I'd been taking singing lessons and I had taken dance, because I loved to dance, but I had never considered myself a professional at all.
