I'm never going to be an athlete, never going to be running triathlons - I'm not that person.

My life is so filled with my children, my family, and the charitable work I do.

I actually think there's an incredible amount of self-knowledge that comes with getting older.

If I were an actress today at the age of 18, I would never make it, because now our young actresses all seem to be very beautiful and very talented right away.

The most rewarding aspect of parenting is seeing my children be authentic. The most rewarding thing for me is to see them do anything that they're proud of.

I don't think any woman wants to be known for being beautiful or busty. I think you want to be known for who you are.

If I can challenge old ideas about aging, I will feel more and more invigorated. I want to represent this new way. I want to be a new version of the 70-year-old woman. Vital, strong, very physical, very agile. I think that the older I get, the more yoga I'm going to do.

My mother and stepfather were married 43 years, so I have watched a long marriage. I feel like I had a very good role model for that. And, you know, it's just a number.

There is nothing you will regret more in your life — nothing — than not being present for your children

I have very short hair. It's the only cute haircut I think I've ever had.

I believe that life is hard. That we all are going to walk through things that are hard and challenging, and yet advertising wants us to believe that it's all easy.

My mom said I was a handful. Now I'm helpful.

Exchange the words 'have to' with 'get to.' Exchange the word 'can't' with 'unwilling.

The more I like me, the less I want to pretend to be other people.
