Sharon Stone

Ava Gardner was the most beautiful woman in the world, and it's wonderful that she didn't cut up her face. She addressed aging by picking up her chin and receiving the light in a better way. And she looked like a woman. She never tried to look like a girl.

I think I am aging, but I'm enjoying the process.

I could do nice, but it's just not as much fun. Being nice isn't my biggest goal in life. I'm trying to be honest about who I am, and that's not always nice. I'm not always the world's cheerleader.

I did a guest appearance on The Practice and loved it.

It's my experience that you really can't lose when you try the truth.

Watching children grow up, you learn a lot about life and about being a better person - you learn a lot about what's really important in the world and what isn't.

I failed at the biggest things there are in life. I failed in my health, I failed in my marriage, I failed in everything, and I've picked myself up and gone on.

Stardom is no longer the fuel of my soul. It is the deeper aspects of life that nurture me. And I realise I am very blessed.

You may be sick of what you did the first half of your life, but you don't have to just walk around and play golf or doing nothing. It's not like fifty is the new thirty. It's like fifty is the new chapter.

I was lucky to have my dad in my life. As crazy as things got, I always had him to put his hand on my shoulder.

I've had the same breasts for my entire adult life.

I'm enjoying my years, I'm enjoying my life, I'm enjoying my family. I'm just happy - a happy person.
