I Worked Before I Had My Daughter,

Movie Acting Is A Great Job For Your Twenties: You Travel All Over, You Have Affairs With People, And You Throw Yourself Into One Part And Then Another. It Gets More Challenging As You Get Older, And It's Not Just Having A Daughter, It's Wanting To Have Your Own Life And Be Yourself.

The Oscar Sits On Some Shelf Above My Desk. If There Was An Earthquake, I Could Actually Be Killed By My Own Academy Award.

But The Truth Is I Wanted To Have My Daughter For So Long. It's Not The Kind Of Thing You Can Visit, Motherhood. Especially In The Early Years. Now She's Eight, And I'm Still Not Going To Go Anywhere.

I Think That All Of Us Are 5-year-olds And We Don't Want To Be Embarrassed In The Schoolyard.
