My mother always said that everyone should be required to write an autobiography of their lives.
As an actress, I'm drawn to emotion and expressing the human condition in all its forms, and I'm fortunate to have thoughts and feelings at my fingertips.
A sense of freedom is something that, happily, comes with age and life experience.
Motherhood has completely changed me. It's just about like the most completely humbling experience that I've ever had. I think that it puts you in your place because it really forces you to address the issues that you claim to believe in and if you can't stand up to those principles when you're raising a child, forget it.
We can grow gracefully, or gorgeously. I pick both.
I never understood the idea that you're supposed to mellow as you get older. Slowing down isn't something I relate to at all. The goal is to continue in good and bad, all of it.
Even though all these obstacles keep coming at you, you just have to keep going through them. Because it's worth it to do something in your life, as opposed to fantasizing about doing something.
Humor helps us get through life with a modicum of grace. It offers one of the few benign ways of coping with the absurdity of it all.
I have a policy about fear: It cripples the soul, so you just have to fight it.
I don't think that because I'm not married it's made my life any less. That old maid myth is garbage.
I've always loved independent women, outspoken women, eccentric women, funny women, flawed women. When someone says about a woman, 'I'm sorry, that's just wrong,' I tend to think she must be doing something right.
This living stuff is a lot. Too much, and not enough. Half empty, and half full.
Memories are simply moments that refuse to be ordinary
Just have fun. Smile. And keep putting on lipstick.
