Whenever something happens that makes me laugh or if I remember something in the middle of the night that I want to share, I jot the experience down.
It was, you know, probably 80 degrees out in L.A., and my dad took me outside and there was snow. At the time, I thought, 'Every kid doesn't have snow in their backyard on Christmas?'
We are not defined by the family into which we are born, but the one we choose and create. We are not born, we become.
I'm not happy not doing anything. When positive things are rolling in, you've got to take them when you can get them.
I want to be a positive role-model for my daughter. The last thing I want to put out there is that it's acceptable to be too thin or have an eating disorder because you're in Hollywood.
We are a very crafty family.
I've worked in almost every other place in Canada except Toronto, funny enough, where my husband's from. The first time I was here it was winter, and I got engaged. The second time I was here it was summer, and I was married. My family lives here, my stepson lives here, so it's a wonderful place. Everyone's very nice and hospitable, unlike Hollywood.
I've been a target my entire life. At this point, there's nothing anyone can say that will faze me. Bring it on!
My kids will grow up in a house knowing that it's perfectly normal for two men to be in love, it's perfectly normal for two women to be in love. My kids will grow up knowing it's all about love. It doesn't matter who you're with and everyone should have that experience.
My mother is who she is. I've become who I am. At some point I realized those two just didn't go together.
My reality is the misconceptions about me.
My whole life story is kind of a backhanded compliment.
People are always saying that Hollywood messes up kids. I'm like, 'No, families mess up kids!' I grew up in Hollywood, and I'm perfectly fine. If my children want to go into the entertainment business, I won't stop them, as long as they're passionate about it.
I wasn't truly comfortable with myself until I was about 30. I spent so much time and energy wondering if I wasn't worthy, and trying to find people to validate me, instead of validating myself.
