My wife and I tried two or three times in the last 40 years to have breakfast together, but it was so disagreeable we had to stop. ↗

There are moments when I can't believe I'm as old as I am. But I feel better physically than I did 10 years ago. I don't think, Oh God, I'm missing something. ↗

As an artist myself, I know what it's like to put your heart and soul into something. You can feel the presence of another person. ↗

I go to Malawi twice a year. It's where two of my children were adopted from, and I have a lot of projects there that I go and check up on and children who I look after. It's sort of a commitment that I've made to this country and the hundreds of thousands of children there who have been orphaned by AIDS. ↗

I think in the end, when you're famous, people like to narrow you down to a few personality traits. I think I've just become this ambitious, say-whatever's-on-her-mind, intimidating person. And that's part of my personality, but it's certainly not anywhere near the whole thing. ↗

Part of the reason I sort of shot out like a cannon out of Michigan and left home at such an early age is because I had to feel independent. ↗
