“I thought I had learned how to have an intimate relationship. And I thought I’d learned how to be happy. Everybody has issues. For me, the challenge is intimacy, but I really didn’t start to get that until I turned 60.”

We’re not meant to be perfect. It took me a long time to learn that.

When you know in your heart why you did something, and you feel and you know that in spite of all the controversy that it was right, doesn’t matter.

An exercise outfit helps because it sets this time apart from the rest of your day and makes it matter more.

You shouldn’t give up. For a while, you have to stay close to the wall and be careful who you spend time with and take care of yourself.

I was shocked into the realization that I myself had played an unwitting role as a movie star and sex symbol in perpetrating the stereotypes that affected women all over the world.

If you allow yourself, you can become stronger in the very places that you’ve been broken.

You don’t learn from successes; you don’t learn from awards; you don’t learn from celebrity; you only learn from wounds and scars and mistakes and failures. And that’s the truth.

I feel like when I was an adolescent, and felt so unworthy of love and so empty, I moved outside of myself.

I was in my mid-40s. I was a bulimic, and I realized if I continue with this addiction of mine, I will not be able to continue doing my life. The older you get the more damage it does; it takes longer to recover from a binge. And it was very hard.
