My mother's passion for something more, to write a different destiny for a dirt-poor farmer's daughter, was to shape my entire life.

I believe my love of beauty and my ability to see what works is a gift I was given by God.

Being by the nature of my upbringing, all my energies having been directed to one channel of activity, crippled from other activities and made helpless even to live.

My life. The life I'm living that's where all my inspiration comes from. Real life experiences.

My passion, personally, is being my true self while inspiring young people who are struggling with their identities to love themselves for who they are.

To be able to always have a super sense of who I was and my own real identity and be petty and seem informed and always thinking in thoughts would be great.

For me, at least, all of my career goals, all of my focus, everything just shifted and the importance was my children, and that's where all the joy came from as well.

Imagination! Imagination! I put it first years ago, when I was asked what qualities I thought necessary for success on the stage.

Everything that I had done creatively related to two or three incidents that happened to me when I was a child that I'd forgotten. Everything, absolutely everything.

All my life I've had the privilege to make my living with my imagination, and the most important thing has been to see my creative life grow. I was educated to do that and have lived accordingly.
