The people who have been helping me in the past continue to support me. Many of them supported my father, and the support isn't just financial.

As a public figure, you have to maintain a certain demeanor. We also have responsibility to the public, but of course, I'm not perfect. I have a lot of flaws; my husband can tell you that, my friends, even. They know who I am.

Even if I aspired to be in showbiz, I felt physically inadequate being compared to my parents.

I appreciate artistically made movies, but as an audience member, I want to be entertained, too.

My father was very sick around the time I was born. The doctors thought he wouldn't live. He did recover, but I don't remember him as very active. I do remember lots of schtick around the dinner table. Generally, he and my brothers and I were all laughing at the same thing my mother did not find funny, whatever that was.

The 14th of 15 kids, I was the second youngest - not a coveted spot on the family totem pole.

My family is proud of all the things I have accomplished.

The Grimm collections were never intended for children. Not because kids were excluded, but because the division we make today of children's literature didn't exist then. The idea of protecting children from tales with violence didn't occur until the earlier part of the 19th century.
