I don't have a strong sense of self-worth unless I'm doing something.

I had worked my whole life. Until I became a mother, that's the only way I measured my value.

Whenever I made money I invested in myself... I bought whatever I needed to make my career better. I never really spent money on other stuff, like buying expensive cars.

I have started exploring my own life and have started valuing myself. I have started valuing my individuality.

I always stayed in tune with my own ambitions and attitudes and I'm still my intractable old self, for better or worse.

My father instilled in me an attitude that you couldn't really enjoy yourself unless you had done something to deserve it. So, my childhood was spent working on farms or local shops or, when I got older, in banks.

In my early 20s I was so miserable doing construction, I wanted something that paid money. I liked nice stuff. I liked cars and architecture, and things that cost money. I wanted to not swing a hammer, and make money... and not do stuff that was dirty. I attempted to get into comedy. I started to do stand-up, but I wasn't very good at it.

Your self-worth has nothing to do with your craft or calling, and everything to do with how you treat yourself.

I always had a separate life than just my work. I built my own family. I have my own hobbies and interests. I have a ranch with livestock and horses. I didn't always get my self-esteem and identity from acting. I never worked unless I wanted to. I never did anything just to do it, just for the paycheck. I always did things that I liked.
