Actress

I have photographs taken of me at the time I was addicted, and thought I looked good. I see them today and realize my eyes were dead.

I probably spend more time with my kids than the average stay-at-home mother.

I've been irresponsible many, many, many times and that has resulted in my being fat.

Scientology helps you lose your insanities. One of the keys is, they say, 'You're in charge of your life, buster. You're responsible for any condition you're in.' If I look at it that way, it helps.

My food demons are Chinese food, sugar, butter.

Through history, people look for something spiritual. The greatest scientists in the world were men of religion and faith, too.

You're not going to live your life unscathed.

Look for someone who has a complete life without you in it. If you have a person you don't need for anything, that's ideal. You're just together because you really want to be.
