I sometimes found myself more comfortable around my TV family than I did with my own parents and sister.
I'm at peace with my family, my friends, myself and God so there's really nothing else that I worry about.
The fact that I am able to live a life and act and to do all of those things and support myself and my family is a gift.
I have a lot of responsibilities outside myself. I have a large family. I want to know I can always be helpful.
Personally, I've made myself a very small window of what I enjoy in this business, which is I love being a big part of the storytelling process.
If you're a single man and you happen to be in this business, you're deemed a player. But I don't see myself as a ladies' man.
I will be engaging myself personally, as the head of the Polish government, in the optimization of conditions for the exploration, research, logistics and the business related to the production of shale gas.
I'm not desperate anymore or feeling weird about myself because I'm not working in this business. I'm older and wiser, and there's a lot more to life.
This almost never happens, but what is really relaxing is just being in this house all by myself, sitting quietly and watching TV. But I basically never get that chance.
While I'm more of a soccer and tennis fan myself, I still enjoying catching some football games when I get the chance.
I do not consider myself a feminist. I do not believe that by doing female-oriented films that depict a woman fighting the system, we can change the system.
Baseball people, and that includes myself, are slow to change and accept new ideas. I remember that it took years to persuade them to put numbers on uniforms.
It's like, 'You're not allowed to change. That's not fair. We like you like this.' But I don't. So let me expand and express myself.
I'm on the board of the Sierra Club Foundation and am myself a big environmentalist. But the way to make the biggest difference is to change mainstream behavior.
I ask myself: Would I have been any worse off if I had stayed home or lived on a farm instead of shock treatments and medication?
I'm hoping someday that some kid, black or white, will hit more home runs than myself. Whoever it is, I'd be pulling for him.
I never was the front man in any bands I played in when I was in college, and I always learned music by myself at home.
I'm kind of a Luddite myself. I've got a bunch of typewriters at home. I'm a big fan of old technology.
I really see myself as a homegirl. Wales is my first home. London is my second home - I've been there 14 years now.
I always prided myself on at least trying to be literate and use the right words, and if the audience didn't get it, then they could go home and look it up.
I don't consider myself to be a major talent, so the only solace I can take is to hope I'm growing.
