When you've got four people to get dressed to get out the door, you don't really tend to spend a lot of time on yourself. But that's the way I roll anyway. I was never one to do my hair and make-up just to go down to the market, so it's really not that much different. If I get a little eye cream on, I feel like I'm ahead of myself.
Whenever you are faced with someone who has made far more errors in judgment and far more mistakes than you, you have a tendency to get on your high horse.
When all this fame first comes, it's like being hit by a giant wave. You panic and think if you can just calm down and see where it's going, you'll be okay. Then you become more relaxed.
Patchouli has always been a part of my fragrance, like a line through my life.
Sally Field taught me to do needlepoint on 'Steel Magnolias,' and a standby painter on 'Pelican Brief' taught me to knit. I'm pretty good at it now!
I don't spend a lot of time in the mirror.
I am completely happy with my life. I love everything about it.
I think that I am a deeply optimistic person.
To have her come over to me and say, 'I thought you were great in that movie,' I want to say, 'Well, I just want to drool all over you. Can I?',
Truthfully we're very optimistic that the House and Senate will pass a budget that will be beneficial to our program.
I choose totally by instinct. And the only time I've ever gone against my instincts, I've regretted it.
I don't have the luxury of sitting around any more. I must have had bags of spare time before I had children, but I don't know what I did with it and I didn't appreciate it. But it's such a terrific trade-off. I don't have time to get a pedicure, but I sure am happy. Who cares if your feet look bad?
Everything I've done has had purpose and has been passionate and has been executed in the best way that I knew how. Maybe that's not the perfect way. Maybe that's not the easiest way. But it's the best way I knew how to do it.
I'm better for all the things that have happened to me, the good and the bad.
