“I never knew motherhood could be so truly gratifying until I had Natasha.”

Sometimes when I visit my sister and her two children, I wonder if she missed a lot by getting married. Right now, nothing could be further from my mind than getting married.

I didn’t know who the hell I was. I was whoever they wanted me to be.

If I didn’t believe in what I’m doing, I’d rather go to work in a dime store.

From ages 10 to 12 or so, I barely remember anything.

There are certain stars who are not actors. I don’t want to be that type.

I was so young, and making movies, going to the studio every morning at dawn was magic.

The times that I have done something that I didn’t respond to emotionally right away, it’s generally not worked out too well.

I didn’t like children. I didn’t think of myself as a child. I didn’t like any of the things other children were interested in.

For the first time I feel an inner emotional security. There is reality and dependability. My life revolves around Richard and the baby.

I’ve been terrified of the water, and yet it seems I’m forced to go into in on every movie that I make.

I thought it was a wonderful line – right on the cutting room floor.

My mother used to tell me, No matter what they ask you, always say yes. You can learn later.

I’m just going to have to grow old, because I’m too terrified to have anything done.

At night, when the sky is full of stars and the sea is still you get the wonderful sensation that you are floating in space.

I’m not very bright about money. I’m not domestic either. If I don’t learn how to cook, maybe I won’t have to.

A lot changed when I had Natasha. I’m a survivor.

Gratitude is an astoundingly reliable, immediate way of becoming present.

When you’re not patient, you start complaining. And the fact that you’re complaining is a sign that you’re not grateful.

Gratitude in advance is the most powerful creative force in the universe.

Be grateful for who you are and whatever you have. Everything you have is a gift from God.

The test of happiness is gratitude.

I am grateful for being alive today. It is my joy and pleasure to live another wonderful day.

If we perceived life with reverence, we would stand in awe at the experience of physical life and walk the earth in a very deep sense of gratitude.

Gratitude is a sign of maturity, Where there is appreciation: there is also courtesy and concern for the rights and property of others.
