Just when you think you've got your kids figured out, they change on you. For somebody who's controlling, you can't control it. Of course, I don't think I'm controlling, but that's what I've been told!
You know, when I am working, I take really, really good care of myself. I eat really well, and I exercise, and again, I have this team of people pulling me together every day.
I'm good at disguising my feelings.
I even had breasts that had mechanisms that could make them droop. It was a shock in the beginning. Talk about special effects!
Even though I don't feel I need approval, it's still important to me to give a good performance. I'm hard on myself.
I do find comedy difficult. I don't know why. Maybe I think about it too much. There's a tremendous amount of pressure to be funny.
I guess I sort of just feel like I am lucky.
I worked so hard for so long - I did a lot of movies. I also worked a lot when my kids were smaller, before they were in school.
When I wasn't working I didn't know what to do with myself and sort of didn't exist, in a way, when I wasn't working, so I was like two different people. I am not like that anymore.
I do think that, at one time, being an actress was the equivalent almost of being a prostitute. It garnered roughly the same respect. That's changed a lot, thank goodness.
I like being prepared. When things are going on and I have to learn my lines at the last minute, I'm never quite secure enough to allow it to be spontaneous. So the more prepared I am, the more I'm able to kind of let it go . . .
I probably would like to do more than I do, because I love working, but I can't work more than I work because I have to do some facetime with the family, and the work that I do is just all-encompassing.
Honestly, depending on what stage I'm at in my life, my opinion on plastic surgery changes. I've never been against plastic surgery - I'm against bad plastic surgery. I'm against the overuse of plastic surgery.
Most people in the world have seen more of me on-screen than my kids have.
I do sometimes feel like the paparazzi are really what ran me out of L.A. They're just giving everyone a bad name.
