Women were real box office stars in the '40s, more so than men. People loved to see women's films. I think it was better then, except for the studio system.

In the theater, you go from point A to point Z, building your performance as the evening progresses. You have to relinquish that control on a film.

The adrenaline of a live performance is unlike anything in film or theater. I can see why it's so addictive.

I'm hard on myself, so I'm working on shifting perspective toward self-acceptance, with all my flaws and weaknesses.

All I think about is my son, my family, and my future family.

I don't feel much pressure at all. I have great family support, and they take a lot of pressure off me. They help to control media and public interest.

We are all somebody's children, and when we're in pain, we regress, instinctively looking to our parents to make everything better.

I have Muslim members of my family. I have lived in Muslim countries.
