For the first part of my career, I did what I was told, and I wasn't getting anywhere. I'd get in such a state when I was asked to do something, and it didn't feel right, and I'd end up feeling that I wasn't very good.

My father fought in the war, and then he was posted all 'round the world with his job. So I didn't know him very well when I was young.

I'm quite surprised I ever got married in the first place.

I have notebooks all over the place. I write little stories for my cabaret.

I used to enjoy the spotlight. If I had a day off from filming, I didn't know what to do. Now I enjoy my family time so much, there is this sense of, if it all went away, and I was just a mom, I would love my life.

Tonight, tonight we've reached a milestone in our nation's march toward a more perfect union: the first time that a major party has nominated a woman for president. Standing here, standing here as my mother's daughter, and my daughter's mother, I'm so happy this day has come.

I told my mother at about the seventh year of therapy that I had been abused sexually by my father, and she hung up the phone on me.

Since I am an outsider, I never knew how it feels to have a superstar in one's family.
