I was the first actress who branded her own line at a time when everyone just lent their name to a product. Everyone said I shouldn't do it, but it was probably the best thing I've ever done.

My mother lived till she was 95 and never had a line on her face or a frown line. She was beautiful.

When I first decided to launch a clothing line, I was pregnant with my daughter Spencer-Margaret, so I looked for a retailer with values that mirrored my own growing family concerns. Kmart is a family store where value-conscious moms shop, so my partnership with Kmart seemed like a natural fit.

I think I feel my best - I really feel the fountain of youth is inside, not out - when I'm just surrounded with love, when I'm with my family and we're all having a wonderful time together. There's nothing greater than your family surrounding you.

Just because something is three months away and seems far off, doesn't mean you will want to be there when the time comes.

Success is carved out of a hard tree. It doesn't just happen. It's people who stick to it that succeed.
