When You Get Into Your 40s, It's

I See Myself At A Certain Age As Not Being Able To Play The Kind Of Parts That Would Keep Me Stimulated, And I Can't Imagine My Life Ending Professionally The Moment That I've Got To Go To The Plastic Surgeon And Have My Face Rearranged.

I Try Really Hard To Give My Kids As Much Independence As I Can, Caring Mostly About Their Character: Are They Kind? Generous? Do They Work Hard?

Almost Six Years Ago, Before I Was Given The Incredible Opportunity To Be In 'leaving Las Vegas,' I Was Going Through A Long Period Of Artistic Confusion. I'd Spent Years Doing Work That Hadn't Pushed Me Enough, And I Was Beginning To Wonder If I Had Any Talent.

After Leaving Las Vegas I Did Assume That Things Would Get A Lot Easier Than They've Been. But It's Just Been A Mirror Of The Way My Career's Been From The Beginning, So For It To Have Changed Would Have Been Strange. My Career Has Never Been Perfect.

I Think Because I Was A Mother, It Helped Me Feel Comfortable That Really My Primary Goal There Was To Save My Kids.
