I think there’s something so wonderful about being part of the process from the seed of the idea to seeing it come to life on a screen. And to have a hand in that creatively, not just showing up as an actor for hire.
As women, we do feel like we have to live up to an expectation, whether it’s on camera or going to the market or whatever it is. And the truth of the matter is, that’s not always the way it is. We don’t always have our high heels on, we don’t always have our makeup on.
When I come residence from an evening out with my honey and my make-up’s just a little smudged. I have many moments when I really feel lovely. It’s all about having that inside confidence.

It would be great to have a little getaway place somewhere hot, maybe down in Mexico, since I love it there. But now that I’ve banned myself from the sun, I don’t know how that will work.
Being this side of 40 feels like what I should have felt being this side of 25: in my body, in my heart, happy with my life, and OK with whatever bumps in the road present themselves.
