I think women's relationships with other women are very complicated and depend on their relationships with their mothers. Mine was fraught with problems. So I didn't necessarily trust women for a long time.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I had a career and I came to motherhood late and am not married and have never had such a trusting relationship with a man - and trust is where the real power of love comes from.
Women often have a fraught relationship with their mothers, even though that's the most important relationship in their lives.
Mothers and daughters generally have fairly complex relationships, and ours was made much more so by Mother's illness. She had Parkinson's disease, which was not diagnosed for a long time... All that made me very self-protective, because for one thing, I didn't want to get trapped.
Every woman has a mother, and every woman will have an issue with that mother and things that mother did or didn't do. It just depends on how you choose to process the lessons that you learned from your own mother.
I've had a very supportive mother my entire life, so I've had strong women around me.
My mom worked as a housekeeper, and I saw her relationship with her employers - how on the one hand she spent more time with these women than with a lot of her friends, and how in certain ways they were friends. But then they weren't.
I trust my mum with anything. If I have a problem, my mum is always the first person I go to.
I don't trust that many people. Just my mother and my wife and a couple of friends. When I trust people, it doesn't end well.
There's a lot more to being a woman than being a mother, but there's a hell of a lot more to being a mother than most people suspect.
I think there's a certain level of trust that I have with women. I've always been honest, even when I haven't had good times in my life or my movie bombed or I've had great success. I've owned up to all of it.
