And I Was Ashamed Of Myself For

Without My Women Friends, I Wouldn't Know Anything. They've Been My Teachers And My Mothers. My Mother Was A Wonderful Person, But She Didn't Give Me A Lot Of The Stuff I Needed To Advance Myself As An Adult Woman. I Have A Really Strong Group Of Girlfriends, And We Share A Lot With One Another - The Complications Of Raising Children, Marriages, Personal And Physical Struggles.

It's Very Hard, When You're A Famous Person, To "de-famous" Your Home, But Tokens Of My Fame Just Felt Like A Burden For My Children. And For Me.

My Mother Was The Most Beautiful Woman I Have Ever Seen. There Are Moments When I Remember Her Beauty, Unadorned, Unposed, Not In Some Artificial Place Like A Set Or A Photo Call But Rather Captured Outdoors In Nature, Where She Took My Breath Away. When Those Moments Surface, I Miss Her The Most.

I Want To Be Older. I Actually Think There's An Incredible Amount Of Self-knowledge That Comes With Getting Older. I Feel Way Better Now Than I Did When I Was 20. I'm Stronger, I'm Smarter In Every Way, I'm So Much Less Crazy Than I Was Then.

I Respect So Much The Work That So Many Women Do, But That's Just Not What I Do. I Have A Job Where I Advertise Yogurt That Makes You Poop, And People Love It And Tell Me About Their Bowel Movements, Every Day.
