I feel like crying and sadness has brought an actual change to the shape of my mouth.

At this point, I wouldn't be able to digest meat, and I don't like eating things with faces.

I think that the best way to celebrate the other people in my family is to go on.

My mom says it's an American version of the French name Jolie. My dad says I'm named after Al Jolson.

I definitely have a Fisher voice.

I knew from the time I could walk that I wanted to be an actor.

You want the best for your kid, but everybody's career is completely different in this industry.

I am still learning every day not to watch other people's careers and compare.

I took up French boys and wine and I studied psychology.

I loved psychology and I loved history.

I was like a race horse, just trying to get into the world.

I was a backstage kid. I was in the wings looking out.

I just believe that whatever you put into your system you're going to see on your face and your body.

I've never been a waif; I have a womanly figure and always did.

I stay in my own little zone, and that's good for me.

I'm always on the quest for something delicious and healthful.

But unfortunately, when you have a kid, you sometimes eat everything they leave behind. So far today I've had some of her leftover pancakes with peanut butter.

I was 2 when my parents - actress Connie Stevens and singer Eddie Fisher - divorced. I was too young to experience the pain of their split, but it was rough growing up with a father who wasn't there.

In 1987, when I was 19, I was studying musical theater at Boston's Emerson College. My sister, Tricia Leigh, told me about a summer acting retreat in Italy. Mom paid, so off we went.

I'm a storyteller, and everyone in this family expresses themselves through writing to get through life's milestones.

I like to be challenged.

What I like to think I've done is try to teach all women and my three female daughters, to teach them to rise above stuff, to find things that move you, to bring humor and laughter to everything that you do, and to realize that no other person defines you. Find what's great about yourself, and band together as women.

I am the mother of five children.

I realized I am living an amazing, gorgeous, large life. I want to share this, and that includes the good, the bad, and the ugly.

I have so much to live up to as well as live down.

I still get surprised that people don't know that I sing.

I love work, but no job could ever compare with the job of being a mother.

I feel like crying and sadness has brought an actual change to the shape of my mouth.

I always thought that I would have a recording career.

I dive fearless into things.
