Wisdom worth sharing, words worth remembering.
It takes years for me to trust I know that about myself. A lot of it is because I am so private and so reluctant to make myself vulnerable.
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.
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.
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.
Ultimately I believe the only secret to a happy marriage is choosing the right person. Life is a series of choices right?
I've never met a person who has more integrity than my husband. I respect that. There's his humor and intelligence too and he's really cute all those things – but if you don't respect your partner you'll get sick of him.
Like all parents my husband and I just do the best we can hold our breath and hope we've set aside enough money for our kid's therapy.
I do portraits. I usually do live models in a class environment but I've been painting at home more. I really love the human form and I love faces. I've tried to do landscapes a few times.
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 was kind of surprised to learn how controlling I am. I never thought of myself in that way. I think the root of the control issues is usually fear because you want to know what's going to be happening at any given moment.
For me getting comfortable with being famous was hard – that whole side of it the loss of anonymity the loss of privacy. Giving up that part of your life and not having control of it.
The value of a good education has never left me.
