I cry so much less than I used to. I used to be one of the most teary people.

When my twin grandchildren, Linda and Lyeke, were born two years ago, it changed me. I felt it was the essence of what life is about, and I cried all day. When my son Pierre, their father, was born I didn't cry like that.

You talk about crying! The spring of 1988, I spent a fair length of time trying to come to grips with who I was and the habits I had and what they did to people that I truly loved. I really spent a period of time where, I suspect, I cried three or four times a week.

When you cry, you don't look very attractive; you look snotty and blotchy. People seem to manage to cry quite prettily these days, and to me, that smacks of not being very genuine.

I cried when I turned 34 for no other reason than 34 sounded old to me at the time.

I used to cry myself to sleep wishing I was ugly because of the way men leered at and disrespected me.

I almost never cry, and it's something I don't like about myself. I sometimes try and make myself cry. Sometimes, when I'm in pain, I say if I could just cry it would make it so much easier.

My daughter will find some of the sweetest words to tell you that can make a grown man cry. She still gives me the same inspiration. She still motivates me.

I cry all the time. I love to laugh, too. It's important to create an environment for yourself where you feel what you need to and don't hold it in.

I cry very easily. It can be a movie, a phone conversation, a sunset - tears are words waiting to be written.
