Demi Moore

I had worked my whole life. Until I became a mother, that's the only way I measured my value. ”

I had an essence in my life that I was nothing. ”

You have to acknowledge a problem exists before you can actually go about finding a solution. ”

I have a passion for my work, and that sometimes triggers creative conflicts. ”

I know I have an eccentric, obsessive-compulsive side. ”

I used to think that what scared me was the idea of being abandoned until someone said to me, 'Only children can be abandoned. Adults can't be abandoned because we have a choice. Children don't have a choice.' ”

I feel like I have the fortune of privilege, particularly as it relates to my children. ”

I'm an incurable optimist and a go-getter - it's in my nature to focus much more on what makes me happy than what makes me nervous. ”

No matter how late it is, when I get home, I take the time to clean and moisturize my face. ”

For the moment I prefer to be a beautiful woman of my age than try desperately to look 30. ”
