“I thought, while they're up and firm, why not shoot them once or twice.”

“My marriage? Up to now everything's okay. But it's a real marriage - imperfect and very difficult. It's all about people evolving somewhat simultaneously through their lives. I think we've emotionally evolved.”

“I attempted various types of plastic surgery, minutely but enough to stave off this encroaching middle-aged body. And every time I did, something went wrong. I felt misshapen, just not natural any more.”

“Now all of a sudden I'm so less interested in pretending to be a lot of other people, and much more interested in being me.”

“I'm uninterested in superheroes. I am only interested in real stories, real people, real connection.”

“I've etched out who I am through myriad haircut attempts, outfit attempts, beauty attempts, diet attempts. It's been an evolution.”

“I love performing and pretending - it's very easy for me.”

“I have very short hair. It's the only cute haircut I think I've ever had.”

“Getting sober just exploded my life. Now I have a much clearer sense of myself and what I can and can't do. I am more successful than I have ever been. I feel very positive where I never did before, and I think that's all a direct result of getting sober.”

“Because I know I'm an addict, and I know I'm an alcoholic.”

“I barely got out of high school, and I look back at my life often and go, 'Wow, this was awesome!'”

“I wasn't the kid who lined up her toys, although when it came to Barbies and that little traveling wardrobe with the drawers and the little shoes, my stuff was always on hangers and the shoes were always in pairs. Things had their places.”

“The more I like me, the less I want to pretend to be other people.”

“Modern women are just bombarded. There's nothing but media telling us we're all supposed to be great cooks, have great style, be great in bed, be the best mothers, speak seven languages, and be able to understand derivatives. And we don't really have women we're modeling after, so we're all looking for how to do this.”

“Actually, the books were never a planned career path.”

“With short hair you have to get a haircut every two or three weeks. And if you're coloring your hair, you have to color it that often. Every time I did it, I felt fraudulent.”

“I've been going through photos of my mother, looking back on her life and trying to put it into context. Very few people age gracefully enough to be photographed through their aging.”

“It was during a cosmetic procedure that I first had painkillers.”

“My life is so filled with my children, my family, and the charitable work I do.”

“I've been happily married to Chris for almost 20 years.”
