For me, nothing has ever taken precedence over being a mother and having a family and a home.

I love being a mother. I loved being a daughter, a sister, a wife. I love being a woman with men. I love having given birth.

I regret those times when I've chosen the dark side. I've wasted enough time not being happy.

Once I started on 'Frances' I discovered it was literally a bottomless well. It devastated me to maintain that for eighteen weeks, to be immersed in this state of rage for twelve to eighteen hours a day. It spilled all over, into other areas of my life.

When I am home for like a two-year stretch, I get antsy, because I want to work.

To my mind the election was stolen by George Bush and we have been suffering ever since under this man's leadership.
