Because I know I'm an addict, and I know I'm an alcoholic.
All the work built my fame and certainly made me more money, but the toll it took in my home was not good.
I want to be older. I actually think there's an incredible amount of self-knowledge that comes with getting older. I feel way better now than I did when I was 20. I'm stronger, I'm smarter in every way, I'm so much less crazy than I was then.
Pilates is the only exercise program that has changed my body and made me feel great
I don't ever want to make taking pictures into another way of saying 'Here I am'. Because I'm as here as I want to be.
Actually, the books were never a planned career path.
Don't judge a book by its cover 'til you've read the book.
I tried to find a rhythm, and I stopped comparing myself to anybody else. One of the great phrases for me is "Compare and despair." If I compare myself to Kate Middleton or Dame Judi Dench, I'm going to come out at the bottom and be sad.
I can play rhythm guitar. I know how to hold a guitar and strum it.
I think happiness comes from self-acceptance. We all try different things, and we find some comfortable sense of who we are. We look at our parents and learn and grow and move on. We change.
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's very hard, when you're a famous person, to "de-famous" your home, but tokens of my fame just felt like a burden for my children. And for me.
I actually think there's an incredible amount of self-knowledge that comes with getting older.
It's not that I'm retired; I just no longer accept acting work.
